Hello Stu,
Earlier you admitted that some children of Christian Science practitioner
parents have died because their parents failed to take them soon enough to a
doctor when they were sick. You then asked, "When a parent relies on medical
treatment for their children, and it is not succesful, do we hold those
parents culpable for their childs fate?" The answer to that question, of
course, is 'No." Why? Because the parents took the child to the doctor as
soon as they knew the child was sick. They probably then also prayed for
their child's recovery. In other words, they did all they could for their
child, as soon as they could.
Why do Christian Science parents not do the same? Why do some Christian
Science parents wait to take their children to see a Doctor only after their
prayer method of healing does not seem to be working, when it is sometimes
too late? Why does your Church not tell people to see a Doctor right away and
then pray for healing while under the Doctor's care?
