Swedenborg often quoted the Epistles in later works especially True Christianity.

You misrepresent Borg's attitude towards Paul as not being really inspired like his own writings were. As such he lowered them from his view of True scripture. Were he to accept them as scripture - it would gut his 'theology'.

Paul's letters were the foundation of the Doctrine of the Catholic Church. Not a thing wrong with them... they are good Church books, according to him. Swedenborg's Heavenly Doctrines is how the Word is understood in the spiritual sense- It's all about the Lord, us and His Churches. Also covers the exact nature of heaven and hell, etc.

Just because you seem fixed on a partial quote of a single number from a source you do not cite, you are making accusations of me and my beliefs.
