Luke Affirms That Swedenborg Wrote, and Stresses the Importance of Errors Being Corrected in His Writings.
LUKE, APOSTLE OF JESUS
(April 8th 1917 | Received by James Padgett)

I AM HERE. Luke.

I come to tell you that you must not doubt that Swedenborg wrote to you. In answer to your questions, he actually wrote what you received. We are all desirous that he shall write to you on the subjects that he has expressed a desire to write upon, for many of the teachings and doctrines that are contained in his earthly writings are erroneous and must be corrected. They are being studied and believed in by many mortals, and this is leading them away from the Truth.

The one great error or untruth that must be corrected is his teaching that Jesus is God. This is blasphemous and abhorrent to all the angelic spirits, and more so to the Master than to any other. And, for the correction of this, Swedenborg must write.

Well, I will not write more tonight, except to say that another anniversary of the resurrection of the Master has come, as it is believed. Men are worshiping Jesus as God, and sending their praises and thanks to him as the great redeemer of the world by this death and resurrection,[1] while, as you know, his death had very little to do with that redemption, and his resurrection was not the true resurrection that he taught could be the experience and possession of all mankind.

It is pitiable and destructive to the Truth for men to believe and teach that the mere resurrection of the spirit from the body is the resurrection that Jesus came to teach and demonstrate! When we see the repetition of the observance of the anniversary of this rising of Jesus from his physical body each year, and again review all the false beliefs and teachings, we realize more and more the necessity for our Truths being made known to the world.

So, you must work harder and pray to the Father to increase your soul development so that our messages may be more rapidly received.

Remember what John said a few nights ago and believe, for the promises then made will soon be realized by you. I will come soon and write a message.

With my love and great desire that we become closer in our rapport and more expedient in our work, I will say good night.

Your brother in Christ,

LUKE.
