Are you asking if Christianity does or does not, on the whole, oppose Scientology?
I'd imagine it does as Scientology's "prophet", L. Ron Hubbard, taught that the idea of Christ is nothing more than a mental implant, something we need to eradicate.

The question is a bit too awkward to answer. Both words Scientology and Christianity are beliefs/subjects, not people. When Christianity was written/created, there was no Scientology so there is no reference to it. Maybe you should re-word your question to refer to PEOPLE opposing people or people opposing a group or philosophy or religion.

Scientology helps all people regardless of race creed culture of religious beliefs.
Scientology is not opposed to any religion.
What possible reason could Christianity have to oppose
Scientology.
That would not be applying the teachings of Christianity
which are respected by most religions including Scientology.
The golden rule... Love Thy Neighbor.
Also refrain from the use of force.
The point is we all want the same thing.Scientology works with all religions to achieve this goal.

the question is, what role does Jesus play in Scientology? If Jesus is only portayed as a side show or a moral teacher and not as the Son of God in the flesh, then Scientology is not doing Justice to Christianty. Also, since Jesus has already established his moral standard of right and wrong and gives us His word, the bible to speak to us on all matters of morality, daily living, devotion and obedience to God, not to mention how to have eternity with Him, ....why would you need Scientology to teach you how to live. God has invented the wheel so that it doesn't have to be reinvented over again.
Is Scientology's teachings consistent with Jesus' teachings? He did state that Man's wisdom is foolishness to God, but rather, all scripture is profitable for correcting, teaching, rebuking so that the person can be fully equipped to do all good (righteous) things. Please don't try to reinvent the wheel. We hae the bible and Jesus' teachings.

Hubbard alleges that the entire religion of Christianity comes about due to implanted false memories, which Hubbard called "R6".
In other words, Hubbard asserted that Christians were brainwashed to believe in Jesus, the crucification, and the resurrection.
Scientologists also believe that people are reincarnated. This is fundamentally opposed to Biblical teachings that man lives only once.
One of the links is Hubbard speaking about how there was no Christ.

I have spoken to Christians as a Scientologist.
What I found was that we all agreed on these things:
honest men and women have rights,
no other than God can judge,
we all need to work together to raise man to greater heights,
Jesus was much closer to God than any of us are,
and there was a few other points I found agreement on.
All people have their beliefs, this is their right.
Does anyone disagree with this?

Scientology is OPPOSED to proper Christianity. Their claim is that man through his own efforts can improve himself.
The bible claims the opposite.
That man without God's help cannot put even one foot in front of the other.
(Jeremiah 10:23) I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
