Can Christian Science heal people?

Never attended their services. Am considering sometime soon. I read one of their hagiographies of their 19th century Yankee female founder that I got from one of their reading rooms and have another one. Would like to read her book they're so big on. But they seem to be a religion in decline and have a bit of a rep as a cult due to their views on the Trinity, etc.

In general it is the Trinity that gets a lot of these Christian 'cults' in trouble. Both now and historically.

But can they heal people? I think it's possible.

No, they're a scam.

If God wanted your money he'd take it.

Does you belief effect your health? Yes.

They've had a lot of testimonials over the years. Would be rather bad for their business if it was all fake.

But I've not looked it over closely.

No.
A Jewish-God doesn't heal people.
He makes people sick and then claims to be the only one with a cure.
And then when you die of the inflicted sickness the rest of the patients will claim you weren't healed because you didn't believe in the Jewish-God hard enough.
