Did They Really Say That?

?!?
Jesus’ students, not sufficiently advanced fully to understand their Master’s triumph, did not perform many wonderful works, until they saw him after his crucifixion and learned that he had not died.  This convinced them of the truthfulness of all that he had taught. ... Jesus’ unchanged physical condition after what seemed to be death was followed by his exaltation above all material conditions....  [my emphasis]
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p.46
Notice how Eddy taught that Jesus did not really die, that he only seemed to die.  How does this square with the continual teaching of Scripture which says Jesus actually died? The fact that Jesus rose from the dead is given by Paul as proof that we also will rise from the dead.  The very foundation of the Gospel, as cited by Paul in 1 Cor. 15, is that “Christ died for our sins.”  If he did not die, then our sins have not been forgiven.
Who do you trust: Mary Baker Eddy or Paul?  Christian Science or the Bible?  I’ll take the Bible and stand on the Word of God vs the lies of Mary Baker Eddy.
