Nothing like the "mean for Jesus" crowd on FR to brighten one's day...

Yes, it's called the "love" polemic. If it's critical, it must be rejected.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Matthew 23:15)

And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: (Acts 14:15)

Numbers 22:27 When the donkey saw the angel

Yes, another specious argument. Since God spoke through a donkey then you can't reject the Borg. But who himself rejects half the Bible as the very word of God, and basically supplanted with his own, making a deified donkey of himself, humble as he is.

Swedenborg did no such thing - 'rejecting' half the Bible. He quotes it all extensively. See True Christian Religion. Our Church doesn't 'reject' half the Bible.

Swedenborg did say certain books had a continuous, internal sense. He didn't 'reject' the others.

'Led' a Church, 'Reject' books... your slander is based on false and misleading information. You really sound ignorant.
