***I thought that the Swedenborgians have sojourned past Jesus, so that the Bible is relatively unnecessary
You are misinformed. From True Christian Religion #3:

The particular details of faith on man’s part are:

1 God is one, in whom is the Divine Trinity, and He is the Lord God the Saviour Jesus Christ.***

I think that you guys have this a little mixed up. Jesus is one of the Trinity.

***You will note the Word is front and center and represents the Lord present when opened. The Word is surrounded by seven golden lampstands (Rev 1:12). ***

I was a 32nd degree Freemason. The Bible was opened in the middle of the Lodge. So? The Freemasons are not Christian.

***I personally consider a lolcatz translation of the Word the highest blasphemy.***

I personally consider self identification as God to be of the highest blasphemy. The LOLcat translation of the Bible is better than, for example, the NIV.

*** Thanks for the warning. Do you get to speak as God these days or have you relinquished that task to others?

I’m unclear***

I don’t have any posts, just a question.

***How well do you take it?

Humiliation of the ego is how the Lord enters a soul. I was very prideful, thinking and believing I knew it all when in fact I knew nothing.***

Nobody knows nothing. Taking pride in humility nullifies one’s humility, anyway.

Back to the beliefs of the Swedenborgians:

http://www.swedenborg.org/index.cfm says that: All people who live good lives, no matter what their religion, have a place in heaven. Therefore, what need of the Bible? There have presumably been good atheists at some point.

I also noticed the claim that men will become angels. Scripture is clear that men and angels are different classes of beings.
