Yes. I consider myself in the service to His kingdom. Like I said, an online lay ministry - I’m here to ‘drain the swamp’ before I invite friends here.
Drain the swamp - what a condescending p rick.
You know as much about Biblical concepts as Fred Phelps.
I am sorry honey, but sitting around singing cum-by-a, and all being good people means squat, so far what you have posted is oprahisms and tried to claim them as Biblical.
When you say you serve his kingdom, his who? and what kingdom?
Your *ministry* here is to "drain the swamp"?
We ain't leaving. And we're not shutting up.
You are involved in a cult and need to turn to the one and only true God, who has revealed Himself in Scripture.
Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven, for anyone, anywhere, at any time in history, past, present, and future.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Allow me to tell you what disciples Swedenborg teach that they deem "swampy":
* They militate vs. the deity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit;
* They teach universalism -- that all roads lead to God...and that heaven & hell is within you...
* They deny the Tri-unity of God
* They deny the vicarious atonement of Jesus Christ -- and believe in salvation by good works
* They add to "scripture" by proclaiming Swedenborg's writings to be "inspired" after some "vision" he had from an unseen world -- and they reject most of the New Testament, and a portion of the Old Testament, to be "Scripture"...and even then, it's not God's Word, but rather a "symbolic parable of our inner life"
* Swedenborg embraced occultic aspects, claiming to have experienced astral travel...he's been called a medium & the among the earliest "clairvoyants" * He proclaimed 1757 as THE intro of THE NEW AGE (meaning the end of the Old Christian Age)...so the forces of darkness used him to bring the New Age into the Western world...
Drain the swamp?
Drain the swamp?
Exactly who do you think He is? Swedenborg is no less a Christian heretic than Joseph Smith or Muhammad. 'Drain the swamp'? There have been better than Swedenborgians that have been expelled from here.
When Swedenborg stated in "Earths in the Universe" that he conversed with spirits from the planets Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus, the Moon, as well as spirits from planets beyond our solar system, he indicated not only the state of his sanity, but also the quality of his theology.
Swedenborg was also a modalist, which is another Christian heresy. He believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as the repository of the Trinity, as we humans would understand it.
No, my friend, before you would 'drain the swamp', you might consider the contents - versus what you would propose to replace them with. Nicea is a requirement of Christianity. You might enquire of yourself how closely you align.
Good luck with THAT!
We are some of the most opinionated folks on EARTH; and SOME of us have been known to back those up with FACTS.
It can get quite testy at times...
