We, on the other\r\nhand, maintain that “evil,” or “wickedness,” and the actions\r\nwhich proceed from it, were <i>not</i> created by God. For if God\r\ncreated that which is <i>really</i> evil, how was it possible that the proclamation\r\nregarding [the last] judgment should be confidently\r\nannounced,<a id=\"r1302\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1302\"><sup>[1302]</sup></a> which informs us that the wicked are to be punished\r\nfor their evil deeds in proportion to the amount of their wickedness,\r\nwhile those who have lived a virtuous life, or performed\r\nvirtuous actions, will be in the enjoyment of blessedness, and\r\nwill receive rewards from God? I am well aware that those\r\nwho would daringly assert that these evils were created by God\r\nwill quote certain expressions of Scripture [in their support],\r\nbecause we are not able to show one consistent series<a id=\"r1303\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1303\"><sup>[1303]</sup></a> of passages;\r\nfor although Scripture [generally] blames the wicked\r\nand approves of the righteous, it nevertheless contains some\r\nstatements which, although comparatively<a id=\"r1304\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1304\"><sup>[1304]</sup></a> few in number,\r\nseem to disturb the minds of ignorant readers of Holy Scripture.\r\nI have not, however, deemed it appropriate to my present\r\ntreatise to quote on the present occasion those discordant statements,\r\nwhich are many in number,<a id=\"r1305\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1305\"><sup>[1305]</sup></a> and their explanations, which\r\nwould require a long array of proofs.
