On the Wickedness of Demons |
English Etymology |
The assault itself comes from the malice of the demons, who out of envy strive to impede man's progress; and because of their arrogance they assume a pretense of the divine power, by assigning chosen ministers to assaults on men, just as angels serve as ministers to God in chosen tasks pertaining to man's salvation. But the ordering of the assault itself is from God, who knows how to make use of the bad in an orderly way, by ordering it to good things. But on the side of angels, this charge, and the ordering of the charge, is referred back to God as its first author. The following multiple choice questions have one or more correct answers.
