2 Kings 1:6

Lernen

       

6 And they said to him, A man came·​·up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and speak to him, Thus says Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the God of Ekron? Therefore the bed whither thou art gone·​·up thou shalt not come·​·down from it, but dying thou shalt·​·die.

Verse 6. And thence he perceives that it is opposed to his own falsities, which falsities appertain to the doctrine of faith without charity, while Divine Truth from the Word teaches that salvation ought to be sought for in the genuine good and truth of the Word, and not in the extreme evils and falsities of faith alone which is barren and desolate, the latter course inevitably producing the conjunction of falsity with evil and consequently spiritual death or vastation as to the good and the true.
