40. [39.] Because he believed that only he and his followers would enter heaven, he was given an opportunity to ascend into the heavens, and wherever he went he was ordered to leave, because the inhabitants sensed falsities emanating from him, together with a delight in acclaim on account of His having established a church. I perceived that in his delight in acclaim was a sense of merit. Moreover, when he spoke with his brethren about heaven, they said that it was not heaven to them.
