“QUESTION: I would like to ask something in connection with the fall of the angels. In Isaiah, it is said that God created good and evil. So God created the evil forces, the luciferic powers too?

“ANSWER: That is a great error. And you will readily understand now, when I remind you of one of the last lectures, how this error could have happened. You will remember that I have explained that God has created this power which He has given to each of His created spirits. This power could be used either way, any way, in free will. Now that explains why or how this error could have occurred. It is technically not correct to say that God created evil. It would be more correct to say God created the possibility for evil, if in free will His power is used against divine law. ” (PL #25)
