Some of my faith have come to the conclusion that Swedenborg was the Paraclete (he never says that of himself).

Ok, that would make sense to them in their interpretation. Each has his own new interpretation since the 1500s...

Well, we do have the Word now, thanks to the Reformation and do have the spiritual freedom to read it and understand it with sound Doctrine. No one is asking anyone to believe anything in my faith -- you'll have to draw your own conclusions. We don't have mysteries - everything is clearly laid out and we don't expect anyone to believe what they don't understand.

For myself, I really didn't think arguing the Trinity was worth it until I realized that you really can't get to heaven believing God is three. The Lord's prayer doesn't teach us to pray this way...why? so the heretic Arius could be appeased?
