Are there any Christian Scientists left out there? I have respect for them, but hard to find others.?

Question

Okay, my grandmother and aunts were Christian Scientists and this faith or denomination worked beautifully for them. I have a lot of respect for it. It's "cerebral," definitely challenging.
I tried going to a CS church here in Virginia and there were about 10 old people there. I really didn't understand much of the service.

I saw a show on BIOGRAPHY I think that really sort of made Mary Baker Eddy out to be a sort of novel 'celebrity of the moment.'
My grandmother respected her highly. What's my question? I don't know...I'd like some objective info rather than going to the Christian Science Reading Room. CS seems like too lonely a place for me to be right now. Thanks for any info at all.....

Answer 1

I am a Christian Scientist, it is not a lonely place as it can heal anything, we deny sin and hell because why would god create such places to put his creation when anyone can be healed from the bad things they have done( this is a very small and uninformative reason as to why we deny sin and hell and anything bad), there is much more to it. There are many people that practice CS but do not go to Church and that is why it seems like the Churches are nearly empty. I go to a Church that has about 45 people attend it that are of all ages, it makes CS church better because it is more socially interactive when there are more people there, especially ones your age. Go to a different CS church in your area and try to find one with more people. Go to a CS church, it will help you, read the Science and Health if you prefer not to go to Church.

Answer 2

i knew a Christian Scientist once. He wasn't that cerebral. He denied "sin" and "hell" which really makes me wonder why it matters how we live. anyway, i haven't seen him in a while. i think he was lonely.
