It's interesting how you consider it an abuse to introduce a different idea to 'your' conservative forum.

It is not the idea that it is new, but the radical cultic basis for his conclusions, as an esoteric eltist who imagined himself wining debates with men such as the apostle Paul, and who rejects half the Bible, and you come here hosting "Bible" studies. And in so doing i see you insidiously promoting a false product. Free advertising. Thus it was exposed for what it was., even if you defend it.

I noted on the Bible Study threads that no one really discussed the content but it just degenerated to childish name calling.

Actually, on you recent "study," i ended up in an extended and extensive (scholarly on my part) debate on the canon

So, God willing, we'll have another Bible Study tomorrow, which I'll post here. Coming in February, we have a seven week Spiritual Journey program called 'The Path Of Integrity' which I plan on posting here.

"For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. " (2 Corinthians 11:4)

Some do bear it, I and some others do not. At least you warned us.

His Heavenly Doctrines are from the Lord all based on Scripture. His documented experiences in the spiritual world for 27 years are preserved as he wrote them and most interestingly, correspond with those who have had near death experiences. Just read Heaven and Hell and Eban Alexander's Proof of Heaven. That, to me, is the proof of Swedenborg - all the similarities with documented NDEs. He very well could have rested on his accomplishments but turned all of his resources to publishing his theological works in 1745. He observed and recorded, as a scientist does. If you reject Swedenborg's experience, then you probably would reject all of the Bible.

Swedenborg doesn't reject 'half the Bible' - he quotes extensively from all of it. The books that have a continuous internal meaning tell a spiritual narrative in the language of correspondence. In other books, it is more obscure or sporadic but no less inspired.

Your opinion is I am 'insidiously promoting a false product'. My response is 'deal with it, I'm not going away'

Another cult making inroads? Hmmm Sounds like the “New age” movement is working to spread.

To the point.
