Unfortunately, I'm a bit time challenged. I'm selling my house and moving. All my books are boxed- up. And I never really took the time to summarize the New Church perspective. Nevertheless, the Swedenborgian view recognizes a divine trinity divided not into persons, but rather essential attributes of one God, just as soul, body, and operation make one human.
Bolding mine.
Soul has not been demonstrated to exist. Body without operation is still human. A dead human body still belongs to the human species.
