Paul's letters were the foundation of the Doctrine of the Catholic Church. Not a thing wrong with them... they are good Church books, according to him. Swedenborg's Heavenly Doctrines is how the Word is understood in the spiritual sense- It's all about the Lord, us and His Churches. Also covers the exact nature of heaven and hell, etc.

Just because you seem fixed on a partial quote of a single number from a source you do not cite, you are making accusations of me and my beliefs.

I cited from Borg’s own writing Dave -

Emanuel Swedenborg, The Arcana Caelestia, vol. 12, trans. J. F. Potts, (New York: Swedenborg Foundation, 1978)

It cites the specific books of the bible Borg considered to be the Word.

To say otherwise is not intellectually honest.

Scripture is not for the purpose of revealing to us information about heaven and hell. It's about Jesus and Him alone.

John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
