29. It should be known, however, that the cognitions which compose faith are cognitions of genuine truth and good, and not at all cognitions of what is false. For faith is truth, as was said above Nos. 5-11 ; and falsity, because it is opposite to truth, destroys faith. Neither can charity exist where there are merely falsities; for, as was said above No. 18, charity and faith make one, just as good and truth make one. From this it also follows that no cognitions of genuine truth and good form no faith; that a few form a faith of a sort; and that many form a faith enlightened according to their fulness. A man's intelligence is such as is his faith originating in charity.
