Emanuel Swedenborg

Swedenborg said that his theology was a renewal of Christian doctrine which solidified partly in the doctrine of faith alone, and in the spiritual bondage of the Catholic Church forced the future believers hold the "reason for the obedience of faith". The foundation of Sweden Borgia-Semitism can be found in the great work Arcana Ccelestia, or Heavenly Secrets, published in eight volumes from 1749 to 1756. Much of this work interprets the first and 2. Genesis. All that the Bible talks about is with man's spiritual life to do, but in parallel it relate also to Jesus Christ. It was important for Swedenborg to find out how Jesus resisted all temptations and thus enabled a total of divine fulfillment of his human nature. In Christ, he is God, Man and Man God.



He argued that we can see three levels of the Bible:

a historical description of the people, places and events

a deep, spiritual description of man's inner life

a description of the depth of divine fulfillment of Jesus' human nature.



Marital love

A key message is about married love. Swedenborg emphasizes strongly the importance of strong marriages. He focuses on the interplay between the male and the female as a special force in man's existential existence. The conjugal love is a special gift from God. Swedenborg saw in marriage a special opportunity for spiritual deepening of both parties. To put it simply represented the husband wisdom, while the woman represented love. A strong marriage in this life continues in eternal life, he said.



Trinity



Swedenborg wanted to preserve monotheism and therefore stressed that the Trinity is about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one in Christ Jesus. Therefore God is One. He was therefore a strong opponent of the idea that God was at once three separate persons: God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. Instead, he emphasized that God's three aspects is that the soul, body, and the activity of a human being. The father is the soul, the Son is the body, the Spirit is the business. Jesus Christ is worshiped in the divine human nature as God, Saviour and Giver of Life of the human spirit.



Faith and love for their neighbor

Swedenborg believed that faith and love are one unit. Faith is important, but equally important is how people live their lives, to act well towards other people. He was therefore opposed the Lutheran doctrine that one can only be saved by faith.



In the early 1800s were many priests in the Swedish Church, especially in the Diocese of Skara, lean in Sweden Borgia Semitism. Dean of Skara Anders Knös had, probably independently, developed a philosophy which had many similarities with Sweden-borg.
