51. [50.] Because they notice that no one is able to enter into heaven but those who acknowledge the Lord's Divinity, and they are unable to do this, they turn away from love for the Lord because of His suffering of the cross and act in harmony with hellish spirits. Owing to that hatred of theirs, they have it in them almost instinctively to persecute angelic spirits in sometimes fiendish ways, but every time they do they are punished.
