Our Only Incorporation is the Body of Christ. Free Christians and Churches.

SWEDENBORG OR PAUL

TO MY OPINION AS A THINKER AND READER ,THE THEOLOGY OF SWEDENBORG ,IN COMPARISON WITH THE WELL APPROVED THROUGH AGES ,AND THE THE WHOLE CHRISTENDOM, THEOLOGY OF SAINT PAUL IS DEFINITELY THE TRUE THEOLOGY OF THE TRUE CHURCH,ANYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PHILOSOPHY.NOT GOING WITH EVEN CHRIST TEATCHINGS.

This is what Swedenborg said about non christians :People who are not christian ,but accept one god and live by some type of kindness toward other people according to their religion ,SHARE a common bond with christians.NO ONE WHO BELIEVES IN GOD AND LIVES A GOOD LIFE IS CONDEMNED(DIRECTLY CONTRARY TO CHRIST TEATCHINGS).Do i mention any thing from my mind?Look Heavenly City.SO no need of Christ?and if you tell me Heavenly City is non canonical of Swedenborg ,So you are like the traditional church .......we enter again in the dilemma you have made that there are canonical and non canonical parts of the bible?But more important is to answer my direct question and not lead me again into Haphazardness and condemnations.

It would be more accurate to say that no one is condemned out of hand, without being given the opportunity to make Jesus Christ the Lord of their life. Jesus Christ is God. And so in some sense, to believe in God is to believe in Jesus Christ, even if little to nothing is known about who He actually is. The assertion here is that no one who acknowledges Jesus even in the most general way is condemned without the chance to accept Jesus Christ specifically as their personal God and Savior. If they truly never were given the chance in this world, then shortly after death they are introduced to Jesus and it is explained that He is the one and only God over all of creation. If they accept this with joy, they enter heaven, otherwise if they reject Him they go to hell.

And for the Holy City, far from replacing Christ, the Heavenly City is just a prophetic vision that John saw of the Christian heaven and the Christian church to come , where Jesus reigns. To come to the Heavenly City and enter any of its 12 gates is to accept Jesus Christ into your life and choose to follow Him and so be saved.

thats simple and great ,though its against christianity i know,but why would any one reject this opportunity?and if any way they would have the chance to know Jesus so no need to know him here ,and consider all the difficulty in understanding it here?.......

Its against christianity,that you don t need to believe in Jesus on earth ,as you have a second chance in the next life?

I RENEW THIS IMPORTANT DISCUSSION ,AS THERE IS NO NEED TO ADD NEW ONE ,THIS IS NOT FINISHED SPECIALLY THAT iSLAM IS SPREADING,AND EVEN CHRISTIANS ARE SHRINKING IN ALL THE WORLD ,AND I CONSIDER THE NEW CHURCH IS THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS,NO PROGRAMS IN TV,NO FILMS,NO ADVERTISING,AS IF THIS BELIEF IS ALREADY WELL KNOWN,THOUGH THE TRUTH IS THAT IT IS ALMOST UNKNOWN,AND THOSE GROUP OF BELIEVERS ARE IN DEEP SLEEP?
