anyone interested in Emanual swedenborg?

[ppsnow1984]

I have beening reading his writings for a few months，it s fascinating and resonating deeply with my heart.

I find out recently that his theology is pretty much in line with orthodoxy s theology，and swedenborg grew up in a Lutheran church，not sure whether views from eastern church had any influence on him

Gotquestions.org doubts that Swedenborg's teaching are orthodox Christianity.

What is Swedenborgianism? | GotQuestions.org

... well outside of orthodox Christianity in its beliefs ...

These writings include teachings such as: God has many names, depending on the beliefs/religion of the individual; the Holy Spirit is not God; the Trinity does not exist; Jesus Christ’s death did not atone for our sin; salvation comes by practicing what you believe, whatever religion it might be; the afterlife is spiritual, but dependent on how well you lived in your physical body.

None of these teachings are compatible with biblical Christianity.

May God bless you as you search to understand Him better.
