A-Z: General definitions: Emanuel Swedenborg
Definition
(1688-1772) After devoting part of his life to scientific discovery, Swedenboug published books on spiritual matters. Many of these were considered heretical by Christians. For example he rejected the idea of salvation through faith alone and the traditional view of the Trinity.
See Heresy.
In the Bible, salvation is seen as God's commitment to save or rescue his people from sin (and other dangers) and to establish his kingdom.
Belief and trust in someone or something.
The Christian Church teaches that God is three persons in one ' Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit. They share one divine nature and are all involved in the work of creation and salvation.
