I'm going to take the time to write ...Malcolm, <br />I'm going to take the time to write a proper response. However, I was staring at a sheet of passages which address the topic of one's idea of God right when I read your post. So I will include them. (I'm also interested in the question of 'love of self' as an appropriate or useful piece of charity). <br /><br />DLW 13 place in heaven according to idea of God.<br />AC 10083.5. first of all to acknowldege Lord as Savior of the World<br /> TCR 6. everyone see God in the Word according in his own fashion.<br />TCR 8. Faith in many God's is hardly to be distinguished from faith in no God.<br />SE 4676. do not care about the intricacies of doctrine.<br />HH 319 religion which doesn't ackn divine is no religion. (and more)<br />AC 3241. numerous differences of goods and truths but all make one heaven because all have reference to one Lord. like organs in a body all held together by one soul.<br />AE 759. those of the New Church called the Hold Jerusalem see the internal sense of the Word because they acknowledge the Divine of the Lord's human<br />AE 759. Enlightenment in spiritual truth follows form their ackn.<br />AE 759. those not of the church do not acknowledge the divine of the Lord's human, nor love truth because it is the truth, that is spiritually<br />TCR 165 no other way to read the Word for enlightenment that to go to the Lord God the Savior. then will see truths which reason will also acknowledge<br />TCR 165. reading the Word under own intelligence rather than ackn. the Lord as God of heaven and earth leads to darkness. Like walking with a blindfold or sailing without a compass.<br />HH 321. heathens have not worked out arguments against the Lord like Christian who think He was an ordinary man.<br />HH 321. Heathen ackn. the Lord at once after they hear he was born on earth. <br />-SE 4676 - when [these gentiles] acknowledge the Lord, and so receive faith, believe in the Lord,<br />DP 328 - man receives love and wisdom from God when he ackn God and lives by His commandments.<br />DP 328 - man receives love and wisdom from God to a greater or lesser degree according to his knowledge of God and His commandments from religion.Brian Donald Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020132668845414163noreply@blogger.com
