519. The Word is violated by those in the Christian church who adulterate its good and its truths. They do this if they separate truth from good, and good from truth. Also, if they take appearances of truth and fallacies for real truths and confirm them. Also, if they know the truths taught from the Word, but live wicked lives; and others who behave in similar ways. These violations of the Word and the church correspond to the forbidden degrees listed in Leviticus, chapter 18.
