AC 7352 - frogs & reasoning from falsity

AC 7352
That "frogs" denote reasonings is because they are in waters,
where they make a chattering noise and croak,
and are also among things unclean.
What reasoning from mere falsities is,
shall be illustrated by some examples.
-- That a person reasons from mere falsities
who attributes all things to nature,
and scarcely anything to the Divine;
when yet all things are from the Divine,
and nature is only the instrumental means
by which the Divine works.
-- He reasons from mere falsities 
who believes that a person is like a beast,
only more perfect, because he can think;
and thus that a person will die like a beast;
by this denying the conjunction
of a person with the Divine
through the thought which is of faith,
and the affection which is of love,
and consequently his resurrection and life eternal,
such a person speaks from mere falsities.
-- In like manner is he who believes that there is no hell.
-- And also he who believes that all a person has
is the delight of this world's life,
and therefore he must enjoy this,
because when he dies, he dies altogether.
-- He reasons from mere falsities
who believes that all things depend upon his own sagacity,
and on fortune; and not on the Divine Providence,
except such as is universal.
-- And also he who believes
that religion is good for nothing
except to keep the simple in bonds.
-- Especially do they reason from mere falsities
who believe that the Word is not Divine.
In short, all those reason from mere falsities
who utterly deny truths Divine.
