UNITY SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY
                           VERSUS 
                   THE TRIUNE AND TRUE GOD

     "The  Father  is Principle,  the son is that  Principle 
     revealed  in a creative plan,  the holy spirit  is  the 
     executive power of both father and son carrying out the 
     creative plan."
 
 The  Unity  School  commits  one of  the  basic  errors  of 
 Christian  Science  in that it makes God the same as  love, 
 and  in the next breath reverses  the  proposition,  making 
 Love the same as God. One can easily see from this that God 
 thereby  becomes  impersonal,  which concept is the  direct 
 antithesis  of  all  biblical  revelations  concerning  the 
 person and nature of God.
 
     "God is loving....  God does not love anybody....God is 
     the   love  in  everybody  and   everything....God   is 
     love....God  exercises  none of his  attributes  except 
     through  the  inner consciousness of the  universe  and 
     man." 
 
 From  the  preceding quotation,  we find that it  is  quite 
 evident that unity in no sense worships the personal God of 
 the Bible,  the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It 
 would  be  possible  to list many more perversions  of  the 
 biblical  concept of God from Unity  literature,  but  none 
 speaks  more clearly against the doctrine of the triune God 
 than  does the abject pantheism of the definition found  in 
 Unity's Metaphysical Dictionary.  One cannot have been born 
 into  Gods  family by the Holy Spirit nor redeemed  by  the 
 blood of Christ unless he feels the utmost revulsion in the 
 depths of his soul for Unity's complete unconcern for truth 
 as  revealed  in  the  foregoing  quotations.   The  father 
 objectively loved the world,  hence He is a person  capable 
 of  Love,  not  just love itself,  as Unity would  have  us 
 believe.  For  Unity,  then,  the  God of the Bible  is  an 
 impersonal "It",  a principle, Supreme intelligence, Divine 
 mind, etc.In no sense do they teach that He is a personable 
 Being.  It  must be very evident to even the  most  devoted 
 Unity  adherent  that  the voice of the  Lord  speaks  most 
 clearly  through  the scripture,  bearing testimony to  his 
 personal being,  as distinguished from Unity's pantheistic, 
 unchristian  concept  of God.  The attempts  of  the  Unity 
 School  to obscure this Biblical doctrine with a  confusion 
 of  terminology pales beside the triumphant witness of  the 
 law,  the prophets ,  and the Christ, that God is personal, 
 that  He has countless times proclaimed in his word:  "Look 
 unto me,  and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I 
 am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah  45:22). Biblically
 speaking,  then,  Unity  fails in its basic premise- a non-
 Christian definition of God which at one time describes him 
 as neuter, and at another time makes him both masculine and 
 feminine-an error shared,incidentally, by Christian Science. 
 
 
                   UNITY VERSUS THE BIBLE
 
 Throughout  the whole content of unity's vast warehouse  of 
 printed propaganda,  literally thousands of times the Bible 
 is perverted and misinterpreted at direct variance with its 
 own language and context by numerous  Unity  propagandists.
 They are admittedly ignorant of the basic languages of  the 
 Bible  and therefore totally unqualified to engage in  deep 
 exegesical  translations of the original texts.  No  better 
 illustration  of  this  can  be   given    than the almost-
 sickening  "Metaphysical Interpretation" of Psalms  23,  as 
 recorded in the late Charles Fillmore's book Prosperity.
 
 "The lord is my banker my credit is good.  He maketh me  to 
 lie  down in the consciousness of omnipotent abundance.  He 
 giveth me the key to his strongbox.  He restoreth my  faith 
 in his riches. He guideth me in the paths of prosperity for 
 his name's sake. Yes, though I walk through the very shadow 
 of debt,  I shall fear no evil ,  for thou art with me. Thy 
 silver and Gold,they secure me. Thou preparest a way for me 
 in  the presence of the collector;  thou fillest my  wallet 
 with plenty;  my measure runneth over.  Surely goodness and 
 plenty will follow me all the days of my life;  and I shall 
 do business in the name of the lord forever."
 
 Any reasonably intelligent man cannot fail to see that this 
 interpretation   by  Fillmore  is  a  direct  and  absolute 
 perversion  of  David's Psalm,  which  stressed  dependence 
 upon  a  personal God,  not a glorified impersonal  Banker. 
 Space  does  not permit detailed analysis  of  this  cult's 
 further  assaults upon God's word.  However the  interested 
 reader may obtain a thorough study which is both historical 
 and  theological,  including a full and detailed refutation 
 of the Unity movement, in the book "Kingdom of the Cults".
 
      UNITY VERSUS THE DEITY, PERSON AND WORK OF CHRIST
 
     "We do most certainly accept the Divinity of Christ and 
     of Jesus Christ,  and we believe most thoroughly in the 
     work he did for mankind."
 
 The  average  Christian (or non-Christian layman  for  that 
 matter) who pursues the literature of Unity would doubtless 
 accept  the above statement at face value.  Yet,  like  the 
 ancient  Gnostics,  Unity denies the complete and  absolute 
 deity of Jesus of Nazareth and insists instead that he  and 
 the  Christ,  the  spiritual  of Jesus,  are  two  separate 
 entities.  The Bible says that God so loved the world  that 
 he gave his only begotten Son,  but the Bible here does not 
 refer to Jesus of Nazareth, the outer man; it refers to the 
 Christ,   the   spiritual  identity  of  Jesus,   whom   he 
 acknowledged  in all his ways,  and brought forth into  his 
 outer,  until  even  the flesh of his body was  lifted  up, 
 purified, Spiritualized, and redeemed. Thus he became Jesus 
 Christ, the word made flesh. And we are to follow into this 
 perfect state and become like him, for in each of us is the 
 Christ,  the only begotten son. We can through Jesus Christ 
 our redeemer and example, bring forth the Christ within us, 
 the  true  self  of men,  and be made perfect even  as  our 
 father in heaven is perfect,  as Jesus Christ commanded his 
 followers to be.
 
 The  Bible  declares  the eternal word of  God  (John  1:1) 
 became  man  in Jesus of Nazareth (John 1:14) and  that  He 
 never  ceased to be the Deity - that He was and ever  shall 
 be   (Philippians  2:6-8;   Colossians  2:9;   John   8:58; 
 Revelation 1:8-18 etc.).
 
 Jesus  Christ was not Jesus and Christ as the Gnostics  and 
 Unity  cultists would have us believe;  rather he  was  the 
 God-Man, two natures in one being, immutable forever.
 
 The  interested  reader  should know the  following  quoted 
 examples of repeated term-switching, all applied by them to 
 man,  but Biblically only applied to Jesus Christ."I am the 
 Son  of  God"(Matthew  27:43;   John  10:36);"...the   only 
 begotten  Son  dwelling in the bosom of the  father"  (John 
 1:18);  "I am the Christ of God" (Matthew 16:16); "I am the 
 beloved  son  in whom the father is well pleased"  (Matthew 
 3:17;17:5)  "of  a  truth I am the  son  of  God"  (Matthew 
 27:54); "All that the father has is mine" (John 16:15); "He 
 who has seen me has seen the father" (John 14:9); "I and my 
 father are one" (John 10:30).
 
 The  interested reader will also observe that Unity reduces 
 the Lord Jesus Christ to a mere man who had within him "the 
 perfect Christ idea," and that "that same Christ idea is in 
 every  man."  Thus it is taught by Unity that all  men  are 
 miniature christs,  sharing in his nature and power. Should 
 any doubt this assertion,  we quote Unity's own  literature 
 to substantiate our contention: 
 
     "Jesus  was able to say,  'All authority has been given 
     to  me  in  heaven  and  on  earth'-we,too,   can   say 
     truthfully that this authority has been given to us."
