A significant event occurred between the paragraph in question and his final treatment of the subject in 1771, namely the Last Judgement in the spiritual world. The first was a paragraph from some inter-chapter material. We use our reason to put it together, relying on the findings of past teachers. We never alter the Writings, just have new translations. Always learning and developing the understanding with an open mind.

Swedenborg wrote that miracles compel belief and it is such that it does not last. For myself, I've had mystical experiences which seem common today.

I'm just here sharing a good Bible Study for those that may not have one.

So did Dr. Timothy Leary. Doesn't make them from God.

I’m sorry honey you are not sharing a Biblical view you are sharing an all paths leads to God view IE your so called religious freedom (which is not because you claim apparently it must be your view).........and that is not Biblical.
