“Actually, ‘perfect’ in Matt 5:48 is the Greek telios. It is better translated ‘Complete in God’”


Is that Swedenborgian Greek? The word is complete, perfect, pure, like a complete machine, wihout the “in God,” as if the Father is complete by being part of God (the word is used twice).

See PRACTICAL LESSONS IN CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM and search telios.

Has nothing to do with Swedenborg.
