Christianity 2.0: NOW IT CAN BE TOLD

By Michael Alan Brown

We cry for help! The coronavirus dark cloud of death is here. When will the pandemic be gone? We need heaven's help. The old church is dying. Christianity 2.0 is here. It teaches how to build a new church for all.

God's love is always near us, to inspire and to save us. God speaks to us in the Bible, the Word of God, and the teachings for the new church. These teachings include the rational spiritual works of Secrets of Heaven and the widely read teaching of Heaven and Hell. These are two of the eighteen spiritual works recorded by Emanuel Swedenborg, who called himself the "servant of the Lord."

The time has come to go to move forward. Sacred Scripture tells us a modern exodus will be bringing us together in spirit. Let us gather as one. The time has come.

Preface

Love is the most powerful force in the universe. God’s divine love is the essence of all creation, both naturally and spiritually. Love is life.

It’s a fact of life; everything we think or do, or choose not to do, has its origin in something we love. Over the course of a lifetime, we build a core love, a ruling love, a dominant love—the personal love that defines who we really are.

Divine revelation tells us that this love is known to God alone while we live on earth. When we enter the spiritual world, we will see clearly the ruling love that defines us. While on earth, we need a church built with a love of God and our neighbor. We pray that truth will lead us to do actions for the good.

Without a church on earth, there is no way of having human beings on earth. The church is not a building. It is a gathering together of people to worship the Lord God Jesus Christ and to receive instruction.

In the beginning, there was a Most Ancient Church, followed by the Ancient Church, followed by the Hebrew Church, followed by the Christian Church. Each one of these churches came to an end.

Each church experienced a Last Judgment.

Introduction

The first Christian Church is spiritually dead. A new Christian Church must be formed. This was predicted in the Bible story: Not one stone would be left upon another (Matthew 24:2).

The natural interpretation assumes the physical stones of the walls of Jerusalem would come down. It is historic fact that Roman emperor Titus tore down Jerusalem in AD 70.

The internal sense, the inner spiritual meaning is that the Christian Church established by the apostles would not last. And that indeed is what happened. Within a few hundred years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the truths that the apostles had taught in founding the Christian Church had been falsified and destroyed.

This left those who loved Jesus looking for a new church. The new Christianity 2.0 is built on the foundation of the sacred Scripture of the Holy Bible, the Word of God, and the teachings for the new church. All these are sacred because they are God speaking to us.

What is new about Christianity 2.0 are the writings, the teachings of the new church. These writings—as they have been called for hundreds of years—give our rational minds ways to understand
