1st John 4:1-3, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
The deadly false religion of 'Christian Science' began in 1879 when Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) founded the Church of Christ, Scientist. The movement was established following the publication of her book, 'Science And Health with Key To The Scriptures,' in 1875.
Sadly, Hollywood legendary actor Val Kilmer (1959-2025) was a lifelong devout follower of this demonic cult. I say that kindly, but truthfully. Interestingly, similar to the Jehovah's Witnesses who frown upon doctors, Val went against his Christian Science religious beliefs by seeking medical treatment for his cancer...

Val Kilmer’s Christian Scientist Beliefs & How They Impacted His Cancer Treatment
by Evolve Editors | April 2, 2025
Val Kilmer’s tragic death has fans questioning the late actor’s much-discussed beliefs in Christian Science. The Top Gun star recently breathed his last, passing away at the age of 65 following a prolonged battle with throat cancer. While Kilmer engaged in several medical procedures over the years to cure his ailment, the actor almost went another way due to his religious philosophy. READ MORE
In his excellent book titled, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) writes on page 127:
I do not hesitate to call anyone a Christian who has trusted in Jesus Christ as his own personal Saviour and who believes that Jesus, the very Son of God, paid for his sins on the cross. Unfortunately Christian Science cannot be classed as any part of the Christian religion. It is not a Christian sect but must be classed with the false religions of the world, such as mohammedanism Confucianism and Buddhism. This is a startling statement and we are sad that it is true, but it is true, as we can very easily show. —Dr. John R. Rice, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” p. 127; Sword Of The Lord Publishers, 1970
Dr. Rice continues on page 128:
Christian Science is like Grape-Nuts which are neither grapes nor nuts. It is like guinea pigs which are not guineas and not pigs. So-called Christian Science sails under false colors and is a deceptive false unchristian religion. —Dr. John R. Rice, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” p. 128; Sword Of The Lord Publishers, 1970
In Christian Science, Heaven is taught as a state of consciousness rather than a literal physical place, achieved through spiritual understanding and the practice of Christian Science principles, particularly the teachings of Jesus Christ. Salvation and entry into Heaven come from recognizing one's true spiritual nature and the reality of God's love and grace. As you can easily see, this is totally unscriptural. In Christian Science, you merit Heaven by your works.
In sharp contrast, the inspired King James Bible teaches that Heaven is a literal place with streets of pure gold, as if it were transparent glass; and there are twelve gates made of a single pearl each (Revelation 21:21). How beautiful is that? But Christian Science blatantly denies these Biblical truths. So-called “Christian Science” (a misnomer) is a FALSE RELIGION that exploits Christian beliefs, but has substantial differences in doctrine and practice from the Christian faith. Christian Science has unorthodox beliefs about the nature of God, Jesus, sin, death and the authority of the inspired Holy Bible. Please avoid this Satanic deception.
Christian Science Denies Jesus' Deity
Mary Baker Eddy and her demonic Christian Science religion deny Jesus' deity, that He is God almighty. Like the Seventh-Day Adventist cult, Christian Science tries to hide their true beliefs from newcomers to lure them in by deception. Case in point, this website makes it sound like Christian Science esteems Jesus highly, but they deceptively refuse to come right out to tell you that they don't think Jesus is God. This is highly misleading.
The following appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel publication in 1923...
Christian Science does not teach that Jesus was GodMrs. Alice T. Caruthers, Committee on Publication for the State of West Virginia | April 7, 1923 Issue
Christian Science does not teach that Jesus was God, but that he was what he claimed himself to be, the "Son of God." READ MORE
Christian Science is rooted in unbiblical New Age philosophy. According to Christian Science, God is a form of divine conscience and does not possess a physical body; not an individual being. Christian Scientists do not believe God has any human qualities.
Dr. John R. Rice further writes:
Before me is the Christian Science Sentinel of December 22, 1934. On page 330 is an editorial which states part of the infidelity of Christian Science Literature—that is, it's teaching that Jesus is not God.
Christian Science is doing much to clarify the thoughts of men regarding the great Way-shower. Among other things, it is correcting THE FALLICY THAT JESUS IS GOD.
The teaching that Jesus is God, Christian Science says is a fallacy, that is, is false. Christian Science everywhere teaches that Jesus was kin to God only in the same way that every other man is. Christian Science says much about the life of Jesus, the teaching of Jesus, and so on, but denies the fact of His deity, denies that His blood atones for man's sin, denies that Jesus is very God.
Jesus expressly claims that he is God, that He is one with the Father, that He is equal with God. Notice these Scriptures.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” —John 1:1-3.
“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” —John 1:10.
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” —John 1:14.
“I and my Father are one.” —John 10:30.
“If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” —John 14:7-9.
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God” —Philippians 2:6. —Dr. John R. Rice, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” pp. 128-129; Sword Of The Lord Publishers, 1970
The Jews plainly understood that Jesus claimed to be God. John 10:33, “The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” Jesus boldly declared to the people that He is God. John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” Isaiah 42:8, “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” If Jesus were not God almighty, then He would have been committing the sins of idolatry and blasphemy in John 14:1. There is no controversy if you believe the inspired Holy Bible.
Christian Scientists see God as the only reality, so in their view all sin, sickness, disease and death are mere illusions that can be overcome through meditation, prayer and realization of spiritual truth. Christian Science is New Age hodgepodge!
Jesus' deity is a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith. Although you don't need to be a theologian to be saved, at some point in your Christian life you should learn that Jesus is God and readily receive that truth as a fact. Someone who professes to be a Christian, but upon learning that Jesus is God firmly denies this truth, just confirms they are not born again. No one is saved, who after being taught the truth, still rejects the reality of the Godhead, Jesus' virgin birth, His substitutionary vicarious death on the cross for our sins, Jesus sinless life, His blood applied to the Mercy Seat in Heaven and His bodily resurrection.
You don't have to know all these things to be saved, but if you are saved the blessed indwelling Holy Spirit will teach them to you (John 16:13). When I got saved at age 13, I didn't know that Jesus is God. No one had ever mentioned that truth to me before. But when I attended Bible college at age 18 and heard my Bible professor tell me about Jesus' deity, the Holy Spirit confirmed in my soul that it is the truth. Wisdom is justified of her children (Luke 7:35).
Christian Science Elevates Christ, But Lowers Jesus
In the cult of Christian Science, Jesus refers to the historical figure who lived and taught on earth; while Christ represents the divine idea or spiritual truth that Jesus embodied. Mary Baker Eddy made a distinction between the man Jesus and His role as Christ. This distinction emphasizes the spiritual understanding of Jesus' role in revealing God's nature and the healing power of divine love.
Mary Baker Eddy taught that Christ is the divine idea of God, while Jesus is the human manifestation of that idea. In her corrupt view, Christ represents the spiritual truth and healing power, distinct and without any need for the historical figure of Jesus. Mary Baker Eddy writes:
The theory of three person in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or Tri-unity) suggests polytheism, rather than the one ever-present I AM. Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God. (Science and Health, 256:9-11)
Beware The Cult Of 'Christian Science'
As do the Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science rejects medical treatment, believing that all ailments can be healed through spiritual means instead. That is ridiculous which common sense dictates. This alone should be evidence enough that something is very wrong with the Christian Science religion.
Christian Science: World is Illusion
Christian Science views the material world as an illusion created by the human mind. According to Christian Science teachings, the physical universe that we perceive through our senses does not actually exist.
It is considered a false belief that can be overcome through prayer and spiritual understanding of God’s true nature.
Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy taught that matter, sin, sickness and death are not creations of God, but rather are mistaken beliefs of mortal mind. She described the material world as the “error of carnal mortal mind”, not the true spiritual creation of God which she saw as entirely good and spiritual.
By turning away from belief in materiality and focusing completely on the spiritual nature of God and his creation, Christian Scientists believe we can transcend this illusion of a material world and align our thought more fully with Divine Mind, or God. READ MORE
Clearly, Christian Science is based in pagan New Age mumbo-jumbo.
Christian Science adherents don't trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life; but rather, to save them by showing us how to live life to its fullest.
- Christianity teaches that everybody has sinned and fallen short of God’s standards. The first sin separated Adam and Eve from their intimate relationship with God. Sin is disobeying God’s laws (Romans 3:10-23, 5:12).
- Christian Science teaches that the fall of Adam and Eve never happened. Eddy believed that humans are an expression of God and thus perfect, with no sin. She said that one gets victory over sin by realizing it’s simply an illusion.
The teachings of Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science are just plain strange and unbiblical. My article has been more about Christian Science than Val Kilmer, but my heart goes out to the man and his family. Val was horribly deceived by Satan. What saith the Scripture?
2nd Corinthians 11:13-15, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
The world is full of Satanic imposters who masquerade as ministers of righteousness. Sadly, Val was just one of billions of Satan's victims who were tricked by a false religion. There are over one billion hellbound Roman Catholics who have been deceived by Satan, to think that they can get to Heaven by keeping the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic religion. No such requirements are taught in the Holy Bible, not even in the Catholic Douay version of the Bible.
Christian Science followers errantly believe that death transforms them to a higher state of consciousness into a different realm. They don't believe that God is a person; but rather, a force of nature. They don't believe that Heaven or Hell are literal places. They teach that death is an illusion. Christian Science is neither Christian nor based on science.
The Counterfeit Plan Of Salvation Of Christian Science
Christian Scientists believe that death is an illusion, and that it can be overcome through prayer and the understanding of spiritual truth. READ MORE
That is a false plan of salvation. In Christian Science, they make a distinction between Jesus versus Christ.
Unless Val Kilmer repented on his deathbed to forsake his trust in the lies of Christian Science, and instead place his faith in Jesus Christ alone as his Savior, he sadly went to Hell forever. Christian Science teaches that Heaven is a state of consciousness and harmony that can be experienced now, rather than a literal physical place one enters after death.
The cult emphasizes that individuals can achieve this heavenly state now by aligning their thoughts with God's positive and constructive ideas. Christian Scientists do not believe in a literal Heaven or Hell. They believe that our spiritual nature determines our experience after death, rather than a physical place of reward or punishment. This is all unbiblical rubbish. The inspired Word of God teaches that there are literal places called Hell and Heaven. Where you end up in eternity has nothing to do with your spiritual nature; but rather, if you die in the Lord (Revelation 14:13), or die in your sins (John 8:24).
In Christian Science you don't receive eternal life by faith in Jesus. Christian Science teaches that salvation is achieved through understanding and proving the truths of Christian Science rather than through faith in Jesus. They view Jesus as a "Way-shower" who exemplifies the path to God, but do not adhere to traditional doctrines of atonement or the Trinity.
Totally contrary to God's Word, Christian Science teaches:
Christian Science emphasizes that the quality of life one experiences after death is determined by the moral and spiritual progress one makes during their life. This belief encourages individuals to live a life of service and spiritual growth in order to experience a higher level of consciousness after death. READ MORE
Please don't mistake this heresy as being similar to rewards for the Christian who faithfully serves God on earth. What you just read is their plan of salvation in Christian Science! What saith the Scripture? John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Christian Science is of the Devil, because they do not believe you are saved by trusting Jesus as your personal Savior. They believe you live forever if you live the Christian life by following the example which Christ set for us. Clearly, this is a works-based type of FALSE RELIGION.
Religion Cannot Save Anybody
Instead of pastors, they have public Christian Science reading rooms with books to guide and teach interested followers. The false religion has no official dogma apart from six tenets. Christian Science is a classic example of Alice Bailey's demonic vision in her book, “The Externalisation Of The Hierarchy,” in which she taught that Theosophists (Luciferians) should infiltrate Christianity by maintaining an outer shell of core beliefs (e.g., the six tenets of Christian Science), while promoting New Age ideologies (which is exactly what Christian Science does). If you check the Statement of Faith of nearly every pseudo-Christian organization and church today, you'll find that their basic beliefs are okay. They do this to deceive the masses, to keep up appearances.
The founder of “Lucifer” Magazine in 1887, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), and editor Annie Besant (1847-1933) along with other occultists, believed that Christian churches were the key to introducing the doctrines of Lucifer to large masses of people. The 1904 annual report of the Theosophical Society stated:
“I believe it is through the Churches and not through the Theosophical Society that Theosophy [the worship of Lucifer]... must and should come to large bodies of people in the West.” (Transactions of the Theosophical Society, H. P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant, 1904, p. 377)And then just eight years later the 1912 report of the Theosophical Society stated:
“Our Lodges continue their propaganda work... Outside the Lodges many of the members engage in what is really Theosophical work such as lecturing, talking on the principles we are trying to put forward, preaching and other activities in connection with the Christian Churches and other organizations....” (Theosophist Magazine, Annie Besant, 1912, p. 88)Nineteenth century occult mystic Fenton Hort is perhaps best known for his part in the work of the corrupt bible revision committee of 1881. Speaking on the subject of creating a new eclectic New Testament text Hort stated:
“At present very many orthodox but rational men are being unawares acted upon by influences which will assuredly bear good fruit in due time, if the process is allowed to go on quietly;” (Life and letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort, Vol. 1, 1896, p. 400)In the Old Testament Jeremiah said that “their course is evil, and their force is not right” (Jeremiah 23:10). The apostle Paul warned, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15). As you can plainly see for yourself, there has been a sinister plot by Satan's minions to infiltrate and corrupt Christianity in first world countries for well over a century.
It used to be difficult for me, as a born again child of God, to understand how Val Kilmer or anyone could be so gullible to fall for Satan's deception of Christian Science. But then I realized that they cannot see what I see, because the inspired Holy Bible says that Satan has blinded them. 2nd Corinthians 4:34, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” I am truly saddened that almost assuredly Val Kilmer died in his sins without Jesus and is now burning in Hell forever, deceived by the Christian Science religious cult.
