AC 3447 - Every Church; AC 3449 - Refusing the Divine

AC 3447 [2]

As in every church of the Lord
there are those who are internal people
and those who are external,
and the internal are those who are in the affection of good,
and the external those who are in the affection of truth . . ..

AC 3449

And Isaac said to them,
For what reason have you come to me,
seeing that you hate me
and have sent me away from you?'
(Genesis 26:27)

This means,
why should they desire that which is Divine
seeing that they refused to recognize it
and loathed that which is contained
in the internal sense of the Word?
