Quite the passive-aggressive teaching.

Sounds very LDS.

Love of self is the polar opposite of love of the neighbor. I find Swedenborg very direct about those not living a life that leads to heaven.

What about:

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

I find these descriptions similar.

Swedenborg published True Christianity in 1771, long before Joseph Smith's time.
