337. (4) Consequently truly conjugial love is not possible except with people who are of the Christian Church. Conjugial love such as we described in its own chapter,* nos. 57-73, and in the chapters following it, thus such as it is in its own essence, is not possible except with people who are of the Christian Church, for the reason that that love comes from the Lord alone, and the Lord is not so well known elsewhere that people can go to Him as God. Moreover, that love depends in everyone on the state of the church in him (no. 130), and a genuine state of the church comes from no other source than the Lord, so that it does not exist in any others than those who receive it from Him. We have already demonstrated that these two elements are what initiate, introduce and establish truly conjugial love, showing it with such an abundance of clear and conclusive arguments that it is entirely unnecessary to add anything more. Truly conjugial love is nevertheless rare in the Christian world (nos. 58, 59), because few there go to the Lord, and among those few are some who, although they believe the Church, do not live what it teaches. A number of other factors enter in besides, which have been disclosed in The Apocalypse Revealed, where the present state of the Christian Church is fully described. But still the truth remains, that truly conjugial love is not possible except with people who are of the Christian Church. That also is why polygamy has been entirely banned from it. This happened, moreover, of the Lord's Divine providence, as is plainly evident to people who think rightly concerning Providence. * Viz., "Truly Conjugial Love."
