FAQ: Are Swedenborgians really Christians?
We are Christians because, in the Swedenborgian denomination of the Christian Church, Jesus Christ is the "I AM" or God Himself in a visible body.
"For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."
-- Colossians 2:9
"Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
-- John 14:9
"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you Before Abraham was, I AM."
-- John 8:58
In the Swedenborgian denomination of the Christian Church, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the Good, the Truth and what comes forth from the marriage of Good and Truth, or the two elements of God and the resultant action, just like the soul, the body and the works in a single person.
Emanuel Swedenborg did not start a church, produce a new Bible, or claim to have written scripture. Instead, Swedenborg claims to have been allowed to write down angelic wisdom in a new and more accurate doctrine for the Christian Church. This doctrine or "Universal Theology of the New Church" seeks to prove through reason and good interpretation that Jesus Christ is indeed the King of kings and Lord of lords who alone can enlighten individuals as to Jesus Christ's (or God's) sovereignty and divinity. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can instruct mankind from the Bible (for the books that are scripture in the Bible see above) and the Lord appears to mankind in truth from the Word.
"Swedenborgians," as all Christians do, acknowledge that the Word [or Bible] is holy and that the Lord possesses the divine, and these two are essentials of the Christian church. See Divine Providence n. 256 [3].

Have a pop at the poofs. They are getting off too lightly these days and can always be relied upon to give some caustic but witty replies - They have raised righteous indignation to the level of an art-form.

If you're after a rise, pick on Americans. Most of them have had a sense of humour bypass and will be sending you death threats quicker than you can say 'morbidly obese'. Be prepared to be reported 'till you're **** is blue though. They're a right bunch of tell tales!
Good luck, I'll be watching with interest.

Carry on kicking some sense into these clowns.
Religion is for simpletons who rely on supernatural forces to define their lives and can't think for themselves.
