本来确实不清楚,随便搜一下就清楚了。从kinder就在基督教,却分不清是敌是友。。。
Are Christian Science and Scientology the same thing? And which one has Tom Cruise as a member? The similarities in the name can cause a lot of confusion, and some presume both of these religions are branches of Christianity. Perhaps the thought is "Scientology" is a sort of nickname?
There are other reasons for the confusion as well. Both religions put forth that their beliefs "when systematically applied to any situation, bring about expected results." And both religions also have a history of shunning certain medical practices, holding their own faith to be more effective or legitimate in terms of treatment. But the two are, in fact, entirely different religions with very little in common or directly connecting them.
Christian Science vs. Scientology: The Basics
Christian Science was founded by a Mary Baker Eddy in 1879 as a Christian denomination. Scientology was founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1953 as an independent religion. The most significant difference lies in the teachings about God. Christian Science is a branch of Christianity. It acknowledges and focuses on God and Jesus, and it recognizes the Bible as its holy text. Scientology is a religious response to peoples' cry for therapeutic help, and its reasoning and purpose lie in the fulfillment of the human potential. The concept of God, or a Supreme Being, does exist, but it's of little importance in the Scientology system. Christian Science sees God as the sole creator, whereas in Scientology the "thetan," the person fully free from an imprisoned life, is a creator. The Church of Scientology states that you do not have to give up your Christianity or faith in any other religion. |
