Can you still be a Christian and practice Scientology?

Answer 1

No you most certainly can't....But be warned, the Church of Scientology has no problem lying to new members to get them into the church anyway they can.

Here is the undeniable evidence of such too.

Hear it for yourself in Ron Hubbard's own voice...
"There is no Christ"

I think that says it all, but if that wasn't enough...

Hubbard teaches that all religions are merely implants by Xenu, and are contained in the implant R6.

You can read about this on wikipedia, http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/xenu

Or see the Court released documents concerning their upper levels where they teach you this 'stuff'.

Look at OT VIII for an interesting comment on the historical jesus too.

Scientology lies that it is compatible with other faiths, it is not. They will try to dupe you into their mindset, aka, brainwash you, so you will give up your faith and only practise scientology. So first they will tell you it is accepted, but as time goes they will change you, unless you manage to escape them.

A big part of scientology is also about past lives, which is in direct contrast to today's christianity.

The Church of Scientology is a destructive cult and it certainly isn't ultimately accepting of any faith but its own.

Do the research on this dangerous organisation and on L Ron Hubbard the con man, and you will see it is not accepting of other faiths, as well as being a destructive cult.

EDIT: Theta your inability to confront the evidence is astounding for someone that has been in the Church for so long...

Is this Hubbard's voice? What do the Fishman Documents say confirmed by Church of $cientology Lawyers?

But then we both know you don't read my posts or follow my links because you might learn something.

Also why are you still lying about its membership numbers, this too is known not to be 8 million, that is utterly laughable and you know it. http://www.clambake.org/archive/COS_members.html

Scientology lies to the public, they lie to the press; here it from an ex-member who handled public relations for the church for 20 years:

Answer 2

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.

How this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable estate., when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

Anyone can use Scientology.

Answer 3

At the very least, Scientology conflicts with Christianity's myths of creation, so while you could fundamentally be Christian, if you were a scientologist, you'd have a conflict in beliefs.

Answer 4

No. Christians say Scientology is a cult, but they say that about anybody who doesn't agree with their church.

Answer 5

Welll ... Tom Cruise and Kate whatshername seem to think so. I believe she said that she was still catholic AND a Scientologist. Gee, where is L. Ron Hubbard when you need him. LOL

Answer 6

I don't believe so

Answer 7

Yes, you can.

Answer 8

why would you,i think no
