Surely by now with tens of thousands of Christian schisms, you're not surprised that Rule 34 has a counterpart in the religious world? IOW, every conceivable belief exists somewhere in Christianity. Christian Scientists have the balls to call themselves Christians just like scads of the rest of them. No surprise there. That Jesus failed to set up a proper and rigorous franchising and/or multi-level marketing plan for His religion is something the True® religious folks of this era are just going to have to live with.
And, does the following ring a bell?
. . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Believe it or not, it's in the Bible, and there are folks that take it absolutely seriously. I believe they are called Literalists. Perhaps you've heard of them ???

I also note some folks take that verse near the end of Matthew seriously . . .
What does any particular groups doctrine have to do with what the bible actually says? Can their beliefs be supported by scripture?
Also what verse are you referring to?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
