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...
The swamp has to do with the stench of dung here, not anyone’s individual beliefs. I don’t want money. I don’t want followers. And please do not try to mind read. We are New Churchman - we do not follow Swedenborg the person. I could just as easily call people a disciple of Paul or Luther but I don’t. Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Get it?
