Deuteronomy 11:6

Verse 6. And what He did upon the false doctrines which are derived in long series from perverted religious faith, which place doctrines or ceremonial in the place of a life of true charity and duty: how the common perception of truth, such as exists even with those who are out of the Church, helped the soul by showing the fallacy of these notions and swallowing up those false doctrines, with their appearances of truth and worship from good, together with all the apparent religious feelings and intelligence derived from them, out of the midst of the spiritual mind. (See Apocalypse Explained 764-765.) [Note.—The arguments even of those who reject revelation and who reason from nature only, assist the development of a real perception of truth in the soul by clearing the mind from the falsities of a blind persuasive faith; that is to say, of a persuasion that any dogma is to be believed unaccompanied by any internal and rational perception of its truth, and that such blind belief in any dogma can save without a well-spent life.]
