Perseverance : A Sign What We Are Doing is Right

Romans 5:1-4

Peace and Hope

5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. ³ Not only so, but we  also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴ perseverance, character; and character, hope.


Dear Readers,
While the Church of The New Jerusalem, Rachel Myatt, The Myatt, Friesen, and Baker and Glenn families thought I have given up I have only begun.  Next week I start one of my most ambitions campaigns ever.  You see God came to me and what I see and what was revealed to me cannot be revealed to you or any other.  The New Church Pastors and Reverends want to believe its not true but yet preach about the same thing.  Things have to be experienced and it is God's Will for me to expose the New Church or it would not be happening.  You want proof of what I am saying about this being revealed to me and not to others you only have to look as close as one of the New Church clergy themselves.

Swedenborg and Swedenborgians - An Exploration of Influence and Response Part 2

Swedenborg and Theology: main idea – God
I am reading Lars Bergquist’s biography of Swedenborg and am struck by a claim he makes:

"Knowledge of God can, according to Swedenborg, be given to a person only through a personal, existential experience" (page 369 Swedenborg’s Secret).

I went, hang on a minute here! I thought that the Swedenborgian way to God was through truth, through understanding, through heavy exercise of the intellect, through reading thick books. So I dove into Swedenborg’s writings and searched around. This is what I found.

God is love. Love is at the core of each human life (Divine Love and Wisdom 1-4).

We are a likeness of God because we experience things from God in ourselves as if they were our own. (True Christian Religion48)

The state of a person when he is being regenerated...does not become readily clear to anyone except from experience, and indeed through reflecting on experience. (Arcana Coelestia 933)

I have been informed, both by conversation with angels, and by living experience. (Arcana Coelestia 1378)

This is just a small selection. There is much more.

So what Lars Bergquist is highlighting, in his reading of Swedenborg, is that truth or God must be existentially experienced. Only then does anything happen internally in a person, a new birth, a new life.
There are thousands of references in the theological books of Swedenborg that point out that all that is written here was experienced by the author. In between the abstract chapters are stories of experiences that Swedenborg had in the spiritual world. These stories have been deliberately put into the books, right from the first Arcana volume down to the last published work (True Christian Religion). In fact, people criticized him for including the personal experience stories...

I [Rudolph Tafel] know that Swedenborg has related his memorabilia in good faith. I asked him once, why he wrote and published those memorable relations, which seemed to throw so much ridicule on his doctrine, otherwise so rational; and whether it would not be best for him to keep them to himself, and not to publish them to the world? But he answered, that he had orders from the Lord to publish them; and that those who might ridicule him on that account would do him injustice; for, said he, why should I, who am a man in years, render myself ridiculous for fantasies and falsehoods. (Documents Concerning Swedenborg Volume 2 p.417)

Conclusion:
So, one thing that makes Swedenborg’s teaching different from main stream Christianity is this: experience. Personal experience.
Swedenborg could have chosen to study the Bible as a scientist, as a philosopher. He could have gone the way of his contemporaries, Kant, Wolff, Leibniz. At first, he tried to be a scientist of the soul. But then God, Jesus Christ himself, came into the picture and said, “No, you can’t be an intellectual and write about me. Let me show you heaven and hell. Let me make sure you experience the things that other people only speculate about.”
And that is what happened, and that is what is recorded in the writings of Swedenborg.

So According to Pastor Glenn and others in the New Church I Byron, because I am not of the New Church cannot experience things from God but they can because they are some how special.  See that is why I am doing what I am doing what I am. God has called me to call out the hypocrisy, the arrogance, and the misinformation that the New Church uses to twist the Bible and use Swedenborgs, Racist, Pan Sexual, and Spiritist teachings of self love, selfishness, and evil to the masses.  I am not a prophet, I am a child of God who loves all other Children of God. I never had a problem with Rachel nor her religion.  What I have a problem with is people claiming to be righteous and of God while being arrogant, judgmental, and hypocritical at the same time.  So all you Pastors that scoffed at me, your name is out there, Myatt, Friesen, Glenn family, your name is out there, Pastor Cooper and Lumsden you are out there.  I have nothing to hide, I am out in the open and Rachel Myatt you are the one who will have to hide the rest of your life Im right here in plain sight for you to take shots at me.  You abused my love, put down my love for the Lord, and disrespected my family and still I loved you and Jonathan.  I Forgave and Asked your forgiveness even though I owed you none. Who believes in the True Love of God, You tell Me?
