Their team seems like nice people and this is not a personal attack. This is Christian flavored witchcraft that puts mankind’s “innate” goodness-and the power of his choices-at center stage. How many different people have had “visions”? A LOT of them. That’s who. Now the next question-beyond situational gimmicks-how many of these people exercised God level power in front of thousands? Only one Man pulled that off. The Lord Jesus. God in the flesh. I will admit this is a very pleasant theology-but it will cost you your soul in the end.

[@judetheobscure6443]

I have read the first 3 books featured in this video. Swedenborg is an author that has to be read slowly; each paragraph requires some reflection and meditation before moving on... but the rewards are tremendous! Swedenborg illuminates the Bible like nobody else. You are led to discover the profound depths of spiritual truth contained within God's Word, enabling you to accurately perceive the sources of good and evil both within yourself and in the world around you. It is Christianity in it's deepest, most profound form.

Swedenborg had a huge influence on Helen Keller and his writings were to bring much light and hope into Helen's dark and silent world as she had became both blind and deaf at the tender age of 19 months. Helen grew into a beautiful, well balanced and very caring lady who wrote over 12 books and who was to encourage many handicapped people to see their own self worth and their special relationship with an Eternal, Loving God.

I thank God for Swedenborg. His writings are a light on my path. When I first read his books I said to myself "this is the guy I've been looking for." Basically and what I think is his best doctrine says that in order to find happiness you have to have a use, function or purpose in this life for the health of your town, city, state,country or church. Also that life flows in, we don't live of ourselves.

[@RobTheFossil]

For those of us who have mingled in the light of unconditional love we live the instinct of love in a divine way for those minutes or seconds. We sense the presence of Jesus. We see in the deeds of Jesus serving others and asking nothing in return, and judging nobody he healed. We realise the same instinct that all people desire to be loved. Swedenborg is saying exactly what is in the message Jesus brought for all Mankind to share. There are many accounts that share similar divine moments now as technology enables it to be shared. People always have had divine moments but had no way to share it with others. This is why many lifelong 'bad' people discover the presence of God and His truth in times of adversity and change their ways. Their old 'friends' tend to ridicule them forever afterwards. 'Swedenborg had a platform of authority and respect already in his community. That made it possible for him to share.

[@verdew8181]

The Swedenborgian Church has always been small in numbers, maybe because these profound concepts are all just too complex for many people to grasp.

[@kenbellchambers4577]

It is largely because he was critical of the church. His father was the Bishop of Scara, the same bishop who was the head of the Lutheran Church in the USA, and Emmanuel pointed out their errors. Swedenborg called the catholic church a false church, and he also was forthright in his analysis of many denominations that were prominent at his time - the mid 1700's.

[@ellabreclaw1626]

I. Have found the people of late have been led down a false road concerning the Catholic Church and most of our daily activities are too. The world has become. Led by faultshoods.. At age 87, I see big changes coming and it is very necessary.

[@happierabroad]

no they are not complex. it's just that no powerful interests are sponsoring it. plus the elite want to promote a god of fear and control, either that or atheism.

[@jeffreyturnbull4992]

Perhaps these merely seem complex to western hierarchical religious programmed, materialism braintrashed, & TV-bamboozled/distracted mindsets.

[@waynekasmar4401]

Maybe under Divine Providence it has been given a low profile for its own protection. Swedenborg said it would definitely become big but it would take some time. He cited the first Christian church as an example of how long it could take, and that was 300 years while suffering a lot of persecution. He also said that the doctrines of the first Christian church would have to be removed from the minds of people before the ideas in his writings could be properly received there. This has only just, in these last few years, come about. All the young generations of people since the 1960's have declined to accept and commit to traditional Christian teachings and this means virtually all the older, traditionally Christian people from before that time are now dead. So, it's only now, for the first time, that Swedenborg's precondition for his writings to flourish has come into being. We may soon see his writings become widely accepted.

Emmanuel Swedenborg is the most important human in my life. I have learned so much from this man. It took me many years to read 'Arcana Coelestia', and it was like digging for diamonds in hard rock deep underground. But, after getting my first gem, the size of a golf ball, I have filled my little bucket to overflowing, not only with diamonds, but rubies, emeralds, sapphires and gems that I didn't even know existed. Now, I know that if I pick up my little pick, bucket and miners head lamp, I can go back into the mine, and get another truckload that I missed the first time. This is a very reassuring prospect. 'True Christian Religion' is a must read for anyone who loves the Lord, and every book that I have read by Emmanuel has been rewarding beyond words to tell. I believe he is a modern shaman, a spiritual discerner of great skill.

[@waynekasmar4401]

I personally think that Swedenborg was not anyone inherently special apart from perhaps being the most intelligent non-divine human being of all time (He's been mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as being the person who perhaps had the highest IQ of all time). That the revelation given by God through him was supposed to be the ultimate explanation of Truth for Humanity, and that humanity had now reached its adult ability to understand everything to do with spirituality, would suggest it was now feasible that an sufficiently intelligent person of that time was capable of fully understanding and explaining it to others through his own natural intelligence. God would not now have to resort to using a human being purely as a instrument through which he would have to dictate his message, as in previous ages. Still, Swedenborg did say that God had to fill the person doing this job with his Spirit in order for it to happen. And this would mean, according to Swedenborg's own writings, that he would have had to have been personally regenerated. There's plenty in his Journal of Dreams and throughout his writings to suggest this was the case. So basically what I'm saying is that God explained the information to Swedenborg, and Swedenborg, who understood it both intellectually and spiritually, then passed it on.

He shares God and the message of Jesus with you. Church denominations tend to preach down at us. He does not. It is not his concept. We find God in service to others. As Jesus shows us. As He did. All of us who have had similar divine encounters have witnessed the unconditional love that Swedenborg talks about. When you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour and the Holy Spirit as your teacher then the research begins through prayer. And you discover your own reborn relationship with the divine nature of God. John 16...12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

La verdad es que creo que los seres humanos, mientras estemos en este mundo, nunca podremos tener certeza de lo que ocurre al morir, asi que le corresponde a cada uno elegir que creer o no creer, pero, en todo caso, a mi escuchar las enseñanzas de este hombre me da una gran paz, no puedo evitar sentir dentro de mi que hay verdad en lo que dice, ademas, de todas las teorias que he escuchado, las suyas sin se destacan por ser logicas, y por tener mucho sentido...

That music in the background is disturbing.. kindly upload another version without background music. Thanks 👍

[@SwedenborgFoundation]

Thank you for the feedback! This video was made many years ago, and we're currently too busy producing new videos to re-do this one, but you can turn down the sound and turn on the subtitles if that would help. Wishing you well!

[@leeloobee76]

The background music is too loud. The information is awesome BUT please lower the music so we can concentrate

[@Mario1234mario3s]

Thank you for your amazing work!

1. Do unto others as you would have done unto you and 2. Love others as I (Christ) have loved you. That's 99.9% of everything we need. The rest is just bunk.

Jesus is the Sinless Son of God who came to earth as a sacrifice for our Sons the rest of the Bible is the Word of God and therefore in its own right it is eternal everlasting and Alive ever able to save us Amen Jesus is that Word made flesh the Word of God in the Flesh who was alive died and was resurrected and lives evermore to be the propitiation for our sins. Hallahuja oh Google you fell down like me spelling sucks at least this English word from the Hebrew yikes lol

I gained understanding of the Word through the bible, and I also gained much understanding from various churches and hundreds of commentators. Swedenborg gives us new insights that are amazing and important. The bible is a book that requires an understanding of human nature and history to fully grasp. Yes, it is enough for our salvation to love others, but truth is not static, it breeds and produces new truths continuously. The angels love it when humans dig deep into spiritual matters, that is why we are here.

[@jeffreyturnbull4992]

There's another important principle espoused by Y'shua: Love the Lord thy God of infinite eternal universal Truth, with every iota of your conscious being...and thus do we awaken to our own true primary essential identity in THIS wholey Real One.

yo lo llevo en mi intuición hace muchos años y por fin me acercaré a lo que él fue.

Great, but the music is TOO LOUD.

[@joaosouza931-l4i]

Caros irmãos, conheci um pouco da obra desse grande homem através do livro de Arthur Conan Doyle, "História do Espiritualismo, de Swedenborg ao início do século XX". Para Doyle, Swedenborg foi o maior medium dos tempos modernos. Suas "visões espirituais" foram confirmadas pelos conhecimentos trazidos pelo codificador do Espiritismo, Alan Kardec, e pelas obras psicografadas de Chico Xavier, que escreveu mais de 500 livros psicografados. Para quem quiser se aprofundar nesses conhecimentos sugiro as obras de Alan Kardec e de Chico Xavier.

[@birthing4blokes46]
