AC 6784 - more on truth winning over falsity

AC 6784 [2]
That true memory-knowledge prevails
over the power of the doctrine of falsity from evil,
is because the Divine is in all truth from good,
whereas in falsity from evil there is the contrary,
and what is contrary to the Divine does not prevail at all.

It is said falsity from evil, because this is truly falsity,
whereas falsity not from evil,
but from the ignorance of the truth, is not so.
Evil is that which is opposite to heaven,
but not falsity from ignorance;
nay, if in the ignorance there is anything of innocence,
then this falsity is accepted by the Lord as truth;
for they who are in such falsity receive truth.
