Go

  
Journey of the Three Magi to Bethlehem, by Leonaert Bramer

In the physical world, the places we inhabit and the distances between them are physical realities, and we have to get our physical bodies through the physical space between to get from one physical place to another physical place. In the spiritual world, however, the "places" we inhabit and the “distances” between them are spiritual realities, which means they are reflections of our thoughts and affections. "Going" from one place to another, then, is a change in spiritual state -- exploring different thoughts and embracing different feelings. Since the Bible is a spiritual book, "going" there also indicates a change or progression in spiritual state, from one mode of thinking and feeling to another mode of thinking and feeling. Obviously, this makes the precise meaning of "go" in the Bible highly dependent on context: Who is going? Where are they going? Why are they going there? Are they following someone or something? Those questions are crucial to the precise meaning. Used on its own, though, "going" represents the normal progression of life, moving through spiritual states as the Lord intends. This has its roots in early Biblical times, when people were nomadic and moved from place to place in a regular progression of life.

Когда люди лгут или говорят ложь в Библии, она представляет собой то, что Сведенборг называет "лживостью веры" и вытекающим из этого "злом веры". Это то, что происходит, когда люди формируют свои идеи, основываясь на плохой информации и неверных предположениях. Это приводит к неправильному мышлению, которое может заставить людей делать то, что является злом. Пример, используемый в Сведенборге, это когда люди принимают слишком буквальный взгляд на Библию и разрабатывают идеи, основанные на коротких отрывках, вырванных из контекста. Мир предлагает много примеров того, как церкви делают ужасные вещи, основанные на изначально благонамеренных попытках интерпретировать Писание.
