BE 96 - the essentials of the church; BE 103 - the old & new can't be together

BE 96
The essentials of the church,
which conjoin themselves with a faith in one God,
are charity, good works, repentance,
and a life according to the Divine laws;
and because these together with faith
affect and move the will and thought of a person,
they conjoin a person with the Lord,
and the Lord with the person.

BE 103
The reason why the faith of the New Church
cannot by any means
be together with the faith of the former or present church,
is, because they do not agree together in one third,
no, nor even in one tenth part.
The faith of the former church
is described in Revelation (chapter 12) by "the dragon,"
but the faith of the New Church by
"the woman encompassed with the sun,
having upon her head a crown of twelve stars,
whom the dragon pursued,
and at whom he cast water as a flood,
that he might swallow her up,".
These two cannot be together in one city,
much less in one house,
consequently they cannot be together in one mind;
and if they should be together,
the unavoidable consequence must be,
that the woman would be continually exposed
to the anger and insanity of the dragon,
and in fear lest he should devour her son;
for it is said in Revelation, that:

The dragon stood before the woman
who was ready to be delivered,
in order to devour her offspring,
and the woman,
after she had brought forth,
fled into the wilderness.
(Revelation 12:1, 4, 6, 14-17)
