AE 734 - "Wars" With Evils and Truths

AE 734 [24, 25, 26]

. . . evil will fight with evil
and falsity with falsity,
for evils never agree among themselves
nor falsities among themselves;
this is why churches are divided,
and so many heresies have arisen . . ..

. . . "wars" in the Word mean spiritual wars,
which are the combats of falsity against truth
and of truth against falsity . . ..

. . . it is always those who are in falsities who attack,
while those who are in truths only defend;
but in reference to the Lord,
He never even resists,
but merely protects truths.
