They said that the Divine then inflows and instills good and truth; but I told them that they are not aware that the operation of saving man by the influx of good and truth goes on continually in the world and afterwards to eternity, and that an evil man cannot by any means be saved, because that is contrary to Divine order.

But, although they were unable to deny this, still they would not agree to it, because they have robbed the Lord of all power.
