A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 3 3. From the Council of Trent, concerning Original Sin. (a) That Adam, by the offense of his transgression, experienced an entire change and depravation of nature, both in body and soul; and that the ill effects of Adam's transgression were not confined to himself, but also extended to his posterity; and that it not only transmitted death and corporal sufferings upon all mankind, but likewise sin,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=3 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 7 7. The Doctrinals of the Roman Catholics concerning Justification, collected from the Decrees of the Council of Trent may be summed up and arranged in a series thus. That the sin of Adam was transfused into the whole human race, whereby his state, and likewise the state of all men, became perverted, and alienated from God, and thus they were made enemies and sons of wrath; that therefore God the F... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=7 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 18 18. BRIEF ANALYSIS. The churches which by the Reformation separated themselves from the Roman Catholic Church, are from those who call themselves Evangelical and Reformed, likewise Protestants, or from the names of their leaders, Lutherans and Calvinists, among which the church of England holds the middle place. We shall say nothing here of the Greek church, which long ago separated from the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=18 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 20 20. BRIEF ANALYSIS. That there is such a conformity between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants in these four articles, so that there is scarcely any important difference, except that the former conjoin faith and charity, while the latter divide between them, is scarcely known to anyone, and indeed is so unknown, that the learned themselves will wonder at the assertion. The reason of thi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=20 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 27 27. From comparing the one and the other, it appears at the first view, as though there was an entire conformity between them; but lest this should be the case, the reformers distinguished between the works of the law proceeding from man's purpose and will, and works of the spirit proceeding from faith as from a free and spontaneous source, which latter they called the fruits of faith, as may be s... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=27 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 40 40. BRIEF ANALYSIS. The reason why the dogmas of the present church, which are founded upon the idea of three Gods, derived from the doctrine of a Trinity of Persons literally understood, appear erroneous, after the idea of one God, in whom is the Divine Trinity, has been received in its stead, is, because, till this truth is received, we cannot see what is erroneous. The case herein is like... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=40 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 42 42. BRIEF ANALYSIS. The reason why this faith, which is a faith in one God, is acknowledged and received as truly saving, when the former faith, which is a faith in three gods, is rejected, is because till this is the case it cannot be seen in its own form; for the faith of the present day is set forth as the only saving faith, because it is a faith in one God, and a faith in the Savior; but... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=42 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 62 62. They who have seen that merely human properties are unworthy of God, and yet are attributed to Him, in order to defend the system of justification once conceived, and to veil that appearance, have said that anger, revenge, damnation, and the like, are predicated of His justice, and are therefore mentioned in many parts of the Word, and as it were appropriated to God. But by the anger of God in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=62 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 44 44. BRIEF ANALYSIS. This is the faith of the New Church in its simple form, which will appear more fully in the Appendix, and in its full form in the work itself, in its First Part; where we shall treat of the Lord God the Saviour, and of the Trinity in Him; of love to God, and love towards the neighbor; of faith and its conjunction with those two loves; and also in the other parts, which wi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=44 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 64 64. XV. From the faith of the present church have been produced, and still may be produced, monstrous births; such as instantaneous salvation from immediate mercy; predestination; the notion that God pays no attention to the actions of man, but to faith alone; that there is no connection between charity and faith; that man in conversion is like a stock, with many more heresies of the same ki... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=64 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 66 66. Predestination is also an offspring of the faith of the present church, because it is born from a belief in instantaneous salvation from immediate mercy, and from a belief in absolute impotence and no free-will in spiritual things, concerning which, see below (n. 68, 69). That this follows from them, as one fiery flying serpent from another, or one spider from another, may be seen above. Prede... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=66 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 73 73. That in Matt. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, where similar passages occur, the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem is not described, but the successive changes of the state of the Christian church are foretold, in regular order, even to its last state, when its end is, will be shown in the work itself, where those chapters will be explained; and in the meantime, it may appear from these words i... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=73 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 76 76. This affliction, or infestation of truth by falsities, is treated of in seven chapters of Revelation, and is what is meant by: The black horse and the pale horse going forth from the book, the seals whereof the Lamb had opened (6:5-8). Then: By the beast ascending out of the abyss, which made war against the two witnesses, and slew them (11:7 seq.). As also by... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=76 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 69 69. That man in his conversion is like a stock, the faith of the present church acknowledges as its natural offspring in these express words. That man is altogether impotent in spiritual things [n. 15 (a) (b) (c)]. That in conversion he is like a stock, a stone, and a statue; and that he cannot so much as accommodate and apply himself to receive grace, but is like something that has not the use of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=69 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 79 79. That, according to the above prediction, there is at this day such thick darkness throughout the Christian churches, that the sun gives no light by day, nor the moon and stars any light by night, is occasioned solely by the doctrine of justification by faith alone; for it teaches faith as the only means of salvation; of the influx, progress, indwelling, operation, and efficacy of which no one... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=79 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 80 80. In order to confirm the above assertions, I will adduce the following passages from the Formula Concordiae (concerning which see n. 9), lest anyone should think that these things have been unjustly laid to their charge. That the works of the second table of the Decalogue are civil duties, and belong to external worship, which man is able to do of himself; and that it is a folly to dream that t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=80 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 85 85. That no other than the above described are meant by the "he-goats," has been manifested to me by experience in the spiritual world. In that world there appear all things that are in the natural world, such as houses and palaces, paradises and gardens, with trees of every kind; likewise fields and fallow lands, as also plains and green pastures, and also herds and flocks; all resembli... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=85 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 89 89. That I might be confirmed and fully convinced, that by "the pit of the abyss" nothing else is meant than that draconic faith, which is a faith conceived from the idea of three Gods, and from having no idea of the Divinity of the Human nature of Christ, and which is called faith alone justifying, regenerating, quickening, sanctifying, and saving; it was given me to look into that abys... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=89 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 93 93. I have sometimes in the spiritual world spoken with the justifiers of men by faith alone, and I said that their doctrine is erroneous, and likewise absurd, that it brings on security, blindness, sleep, and night in spiritual things, thereby death to the soul, thus exhorting them to desist from it. But I have received for answer, Why should we desist? Does not the preeminence of the clergy abov... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=93 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 108 108. The first reason why the Roman Catholics may be brought into the New Jerusalem, or the New Church, more easily than the Reformed, is because the faith of justification by the imputation of the merit of Christ, which is an erroneous faith, and cannot be together with the faith of the New Church (n. 102-104), is with them obliterated, yea, is to be altogether obliterated; but it is as it were e... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=108
