Answers to Tough Questions about the New Christianity:


“This New Church is the crown of all the churches which have up to now existed upon the earth, because it will worship one visible God, in whom is the invisible God, as the soul is in the body. In this way and no other is God's link with humanity possible, because humans are born natural and so think in a natural fashion; and linking must take place in the thought and in the affection of love, and this happens when people think of God as human. Linking with an invisible God is like linking the sight of the eye with the expanse of the universe, the bounds of which are not to be seen. Or it is like looking out in the middle of the ocean, when the gaze falls on the air and sea and is frustrated. But linking with a visible God is like seeing a man in the air or the sea opening his arms and inviting you to come into his embrace.” True Christian Religion 787
“Before He came into the world, the Lord was certainly present with the people of the church, but through the mediation of angels as representatives; however, since His coming He is present with the people of the church without any intermediary.” True Christian Religion 109
“But my friend, shun evil and do good and believe in the Lord from all your heart and in all your soul, and the Lord will love you, and will give you a love of doing and faith to believe. Then from love you will do good, and from faith, which is trust, you will believe; and if you persevere in so doing, a reciprocal joining [with the Lord] will take place, which will be perpetual, and this is salvation itself and eternal life.” True Christian Religion 484

Based on the Holy Bible, The New Church gains further inspiration and understanding through the teachings of 18th century scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. In his 35 volumes of theology, Swedenborg helps set forth the Lord's plan for a rebirth of Christianity, a clear vision of God in His own Word, and what that means in our lives.

“There is only one life, the Lord’s life which flows into all. It is received in different ways according to the quality which each individual has imprinted on his soul by his life in the world. Life from the Lord is the life of love towards the whole human race.”
Arcana Coelestia 6467
