42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe... and pass over... the love of God... -Luke 11:42 Bible, King James Version

There will be many Christians who think that following the basic principles of their church such as tithing is the way to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Saint Paul teaches us: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, [or Heavenly Love] it profiteth me nothing." -1 Corinthians 13:3 There is nothing more important than learning to fill our bodies permanently with the Heavenly Love of God by opening up our Heart chakra.


ARCANA COELESTIA by Emanuel Swedenborg

(Published in London 1749 through 1756)

AC 32.  …[2] The Most Ancient Church [AC 281 which was celestial AC597 before the flood] acknowledged no other faith than love itself. The celestial angels also do not know what faith is except that which is of love. The universal heaven is a heaven of love, for there is no other life in the heavens than the life of love. From this is derived all heavenly happiness, which is so great that nothing of it admits of description, nor can ever be conceived by any human idea. Those who are under the influence of love, love the Lord from the heart, but yet know, declare, and perceive, that all love, and consequently all life -which is of love alone- and thus all happiness, come solely from the Lord, and that they have not the least of love, of life, or of happiness, from themselves…
