From his homepage, Dave is a believer in Swedenborg, a scientist who improved upon Christian theology. From what I can understand of it, there is no plan of salvation, thus Jesus did not die for us. Instead, we are assured, by Swedenborg, not the bible, or Jesus’ own words, that all good people, like dogs, go to heaven.

Go figure. I guess then it might be said that he prefers the word of Swedenborg, over the word of the Lord, every time?

***From his homepage, Dave is a believer in Swedenborg, a scientist who improved upon Christian theology.***

I love these improvements. Christ is not enough; God is not enough. Is there a substantive difference between Swedenborg and Mary Baker Eddy?

*** From what I can understand of it, there is no plan of salvation, thus Jesus did not die for us.***

So it’s Jesus and the Raiders of the Lost Ark?

***Instead, we are assured, by Swedenborg, not the bible, or Jesus’ own words, that all good people, like dogs, go to heaven.***

I wonder how the description of ‘good’ is arrived at.
