What does /his/ think of Emanuel Swedenborg?

This 200 IQ giga-chad came up with a quantum physics universalism styled christianity in the fuckin 1700s

Not seen again until the new agey 1960s!

Truly a genius. Didn't even have to drop LSD or DMT.

dont make fun of me this is the only intelligent thread here right now and you know it

On Divine Love and Human Response:
"The Lord's divine love is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable; it is the very essence of His being. This love flows out from Him continually, seeking to unite itself with all created beings, and especially with the human race, that through them it may have subjects with whom it can share its infinite blessedness. But because love cannot be received where there is no correspondence, and because human beings by their own evil have become opposed to divine love, the Lord provides ways and means by which this opposition may be removed and correspondence established."

On Spiritual Regeneration:
"Regeneration is not wrought in a moment, but gradually, and by degrees; and it is effected by means of truths, which are learned from the Word, and by a life according to them. The Lord leads a person by these truths to recognize evils as sins, to acknowledge them before Him, to pray for help against them, and thus to struggle against them; and He gives victory according to the sincerity of the struggle and the earnestness of the prayer."

On the Nature of Heaven:
"Heaven is not a place merely, but is also a state; and everyone is in that heaven which corresponds to his state of love and faith. The heavens are distinct societies, each society having its own general character, which is determined by the ruling love of its inhabitants; and each society is subdivided into smaller companies, each having its own particular character, which also is determined by the ruling affection of those who compose it."

On Divine Providence:
"The Divine Providence of the Lord is universal, reaching to every person, and particular, extending to the smallest things that belong to each person; and it is also immediate, operating directly upon every person, and mediate, working through secondary causes, such as friends, enemies, circumstances, and even evils themselves, for the sake of producing good to those who receive it."

On the Marriage of Good and Truth:
"In every work of the Lord's divine providence there is an union of divine good and divine truth; for the Lord is good itself and truth itself, and these cannot be separated. Divine good is the end which the Lord has in view, and divine truth is the means by which He accomplishes it. This marriage of good and truth is what makes all things possible, and without it nothing could exist."

Swedenborgians are in fact without doubt the highest IQ Christians, not that the bar is that high but still.

very good statements but do not compare this to quantum bullshit

>>511372381
Don't be so low IQ

The way Swedenborg describes the relationship between heavens and reality is distinctly the same way coherence and decoherence is described in quantum and classical physics.

On Non-Locality/Spacelessness
"In the spiritual world, there is no such thing as space and time as we know them in the natural world. Distance is according to the quality of the state." (Divine Love and Wisdom)

"Angels are not bounded by space... they can be present with everyone everywhere." (Heaven and Hell)

On Observer Effect
"All things in the spiritual world are affected by the state of the observer's mind... what appears to one person may not appear to another." (Arcana Coelestia)

"The spiritual world is such that everyone sees what corresponds to their own inner state." (Heaven and Hell)

On Consciousness Creating Reality
"The universe is a theater for the reception of love and wisdom, and all things exist according to the form of reception in each person." (Divine Love and Wisdom)

"What a person thinks, that also does he become... thoughts are the very essence of a person's being." (Various works)

On Interconnectedness
"All angels in heaven are linked together in one common bond of love... the joy of one becomes the joy of all." (Heaven and Hell)

"The Lord's kingdom is one with the Lord, and all who are in it are one with each other." (True Christian Religion)

On Wave-Particle Duality-like Concepts
"Spiritual things have both a general and particular aspect... they are both one and many simultaneously." (Arcana Coelestia)

You posted this thread in a honeypot operation, you should expect retards and bots en masse.

That said, I’m convinced Swedenborg is the one of the only men who understood Christ as he intended to be understood. I’ve never comprehended the trinity so fully as when I began reading his work. If you ask most Christians about the trinity it turns into mental gymnastics when you deduce that what they’re explaining is tritheism. I hope to continue my journey into his life and works to more fully understand the Bible through his lens.

Quantum is jewish science just like special relativity.

>retarded spigel and more retarded spigel

God is love eternal!!!!!!!!!!! Is he also hate and wrath eternal? Is he envy eternal ("I am an envious God")? Those are aspects of themselves they bring up in the Bible.

>heaven can be like a state of mind!!!!! Lol. Retard

Retard. Lmao. At least Schopenhauer's "life sucks because I'm intelligent" had some actual logical presuppositions and wasn't a cheap attempt at throwing his own headcanon into the concept and character of God. Lol.

>>511373234
Swedenborg essentially said heaven and hell are self-manifesting and you get what your nature is truly closest to. Bad people will be surrounded by bad folks, vice versa. It's a much different type of Christianity.

>>511373095
Forgive my phoneposting. Off the left eye on YT has some great material on Swedenborg that isn’t a bunch of circlejerking. There is some algorithm cringe but it’s mostly well researched and rooted in Swedenborg’s theology. A great entry point for the uninitiated.

>hurr a person from Sweden has berg/borg in their last name means they're jewish
/pol/niggers displaying their nigger tier IQ, once again.

>>511373794
I know right? Jews have European names for a specific reason we should all be well aware of. Berg means mountain. Scandinavia is full of mountains. Lol. I think it's the most common surname. My grandmother's surname.

>>511373084
Then you must reject the period table of the elements, and all modern chemistry (with chemical formulas), since this is all quantum mechanics (protons, neutrons, electrons etc.).
Fact is, quantum physics is by far the most reliable science humans have ever worked out. Sure, it's incomplete, and has some flaws, but all we do is flawed.
Even the next scientific breakthrough, one that overturns quantum physics and relativity, or unites them, will, I am sure, still be incomplete and flawed, but better nonetheless.

Thanks for sharing, will enjoy this with a glass of red. Cheers brother.
