OT VIII, they will be ’cause over matter, energy, space, and time,’ which translates to various superhuman abilities, including being impervious to disease.”...


That last bit didn’t works out so well ...

“To be unsaved, she’d have to have had the Spirit and then rejected it.” - That is a dangerous statement. The spirit indwells you when you have acknowledged that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose on the third day (1 Cor 3-4), and you confess and acknowledge that God raised him from the dead...(Rom 10:9-10).
You might want to reword that statement if that is not what you meant.

I now understand the origins of Lucy.

Wasn't the origin of Lucy and her powers a chemical? A drug?

China, the Democrats, and Satan are now using Scientology’s techniques.

It’s long been known that L. Ron Hubbard made a bet with CS Lewis that anyone with exceptional talking skills could create a religious movement out of thin air and in 100 years would have a million followers (i.e. suckers) donating to the cause.

Hubbard invented Scientology to prove his point. And here we are, where Scientology now has tax exempt status under the guise that it is a true religion.

You can add the Church of Latter Day Saints, Jehovah’s Witness, Wicca, Santeria, Church of Satan, etc. to the group of modern day fake, phony religions.

Didn’t work. She still got cancer and died.

Yes. The effect was to slowly have her use more of her brain (gaining powers) until she essentially became one with the universe (died) at 100%.

questions about the church’s role in her medical treatment following her death....
= = =

So the church medically treated her after her death?

Well of course not, but for a superhuman? . . . I’ll bet some of think they could.

I’ll stick with my belief in God, thank you.

Scientology is the religion of choice for people who find islam makes too much sense.

No, not always. And even though Alley was raised Methodist, is there evidence that she went through the baptism process in such a manner? Such things take full understanding of the gravity of, as Hebrews 10:26-31 illustrates, deliberately and antagonistically fighting against God.

Scientology is the most complex practical joke ever played. L. Ron Hubbard had a vicious sense of humor.

Amen. He even wrote about it. RAH was a really interesting fellow.

I’ve reread your original post in light of this response. I have a better understanding of what your post means (I thought you were implying one thing and I inferred another). Yes, Hebrews does show what happens if you continually disregard and go against God. Thank you for the clarification.
