"The Sefer Zohar said that Kabbalah illuminates dualism, the idea that Good and Evil are locked in mortal combat throughout the universe, and it called this supernatural, evil force the Sitra Ahra ('the other side'). Don't think that George Lucas hadn't read a little Kabbalah before making Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi opposite sides of the Force. But the Sitra Ahra exists not to fight God; it was created by God to give man the free will to choose between good and evil." (Freemasons for Dummies, Christopher Hodapp, 32nd Degree Post Master, Knight Templar, page 167)

What do Calvinists and Crowleyites (i.e., Bohemian Puritans versus Bohemian Libertines) have in common? Consider.

To deny the reality of free will, as the Hussites, Lutherans, and Calvinists do, logically implies that evil is necessary as part of God's will, because, in that case, every choice that any created being makes is ultimately God's will manifesting through a created being. After all, in that case, there is no other will that can act contrary to God's will, so that every evil choice of any created being must ultimately be attributed to God. (According to the historian Hillaire Belloc, Islam is also premised on strict predesitinarianism.)

But to claim, on the other hand, as the Kabbalists and Judeo-Freemasons do, that free will exists, that evil must likewise exist because free will is impossible without it, likewise implies that the existence of evil is God's will, because, in that case, evil was supposedly created by God so that created beings could freely choose between good and evil, as the quote above by Templar Freemason Christopher Hodapp attests.

From a Christian perspective, the Masonic view that evil is neeeful for free choice fails to explain how created beings could be free prior to the fall, or how they can remain free after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, when He will "destroy the works of the devil", i.e., all evil.

If evil is a necessary condition of free choice, how did God freely choose to create the world, or how could His creatures freely choose evil in the pre-fallen world devoid of evil?

In either case, then, evil is made to appear needful, necessary, and part of God's will. Evil is seen as relative to good, necessary for good, so that evil is justified and seen as something desireable, not something that should be utterly opposed and rooted out. Thus, although these two seemingly opposite views differ in that one denies free will, whereas the other view, that of the Kabbalist Freemasons, affirms the reality of free will, both are essencially occult dogmas because they logically imply that God is both good and evil, and that is a kabbalist, not a Christian, view of God. For in either case, God not only created evil, but the evil that He created did not arise contrary to His will, but rather because He pre-ordained, predestined, and purposed it -- perhaps due to the "secret council of God", as Calvin put it, or because evil is a necessary cause of free will, as the Kabbalists have it.

According to the Calivinist and Bohemian view, which is also the Muslim view of God, the Devil is God's hit man, demons are God's errand boys, and no created being, whether demon or human, can act contrary to God's sovereign will any more than a puppet can act independently of the puppet master. Thus evil can only be seen as God's good will. It makes no more sense to blame created beings for evil, in that case, than it would to blame a puppet for knocking down a glass of milk; the puppet's master is the one pulling the strings. It's that simple, despite the attempts by Calvinists to mystify and befuddle the issue and obscure the obvious.

Likewise, according to the seemingly opposite view, that of the Freemasons and Kabbalists, evil is necessary because God wills that humans have freedom to choose between good and evil, where the spurious assumption, which has no Biblical basis, or at least none that I can see, remains, as always, that created beings cannot enjoy free will in the abscence of evil. Are we to believe, then, that when Jesus destroys all evil, free will will cease to exist? Are we to think that prior to the fall created beings were not free? If not, then how can created beings be blamed for the fall?

To give evil a purpose, to make senseless suffering seem sensible, is in fact to deny the reality of evil, and if so, then insofar as these two views both purport to give purpose to evil, they are at root identical in that they in fact try to justify the unjustifiable, giving Satan, who is both the personification of evil and a very real spirit of evil which rules this world for a time, merit and meaning, purpose and praise as one who ultimately helps God achieve His aims. Thus, both views induce a double-minded attitude towards evil. ( The outstanding talk by Craig Heimbichner, available atrevisionisthistory.org as of this writing, "The Occult Philosophy and the Double Mind", goes far in explaining this essential distinction between the double-minded occult worldview versus the single-minded Catholic view, which affirms the reality of free will while denying the necessity of evil.)

Therefore, we conclude that predestinarian Protestantism and Freemasonry are opposite sides of the same occult coin; namely, the desire of Satan to exhault himself as heroic, while making it appear as if it's only God's bedevilment and mans that would make the poor Devil God's scapegoat, when in fact, according to Kabbalist dualism, God is ultimately and soley responsible for the existence of evil because He not only planed, purposed, and pre-ordained it, but He did so willingly because, to paraphrase French Freemason Eliphas Levi, "the Devil is God working evil", or, to qote Freemason Lomas, "the Devil is God on a bad day", or to parahprase Rabbi Dennis, author of "Jewish Myth, Magic, and Mysticism", "evil is God's throne", i.e, that which exhaults, lifts up, and exhibits God's majesty, as though His majesty wasn't obvious prior to the fall, in which case evil is itself exhaulted as the pillar and foundation of truth, i.e. of God. If indeed, as the Kabbalists teach, "evil is the chair for good", perhaps the synagogue of Satan and not the Holy Mother Catholic Church would be what the Bible calls "the pillar and foundation of the truth", i.e., the Corpus Christi. Yet that is not so, according to Catholic dogma; the synagogue of Satan is the corpus anti-Christi, as would seem to be obvious to those who refuse to mystify themselves.

Of course, Calivnists are loathe draw out or acknowledge the logical implications of their slave-will dogma, and they may be sincere in their disavowals of any blasphemous view of God, but it's quite possible, and in fact quite common, that people sincerely assert beliefs that contradict other beliefs that they sincerely hold. In fact, Crowleyism's's claim that we have free will contradicts their astrological prognostications, since if our fate is written in the stars, presumably our "free will" is illusory, since, like the stars and planets, we are cosigned at birth to a certain fate, or orbit, so to say, from which we cannot deviate. In the same sense that they might speak of evil, as though it's existence is undoubted, then turn around and tell us that evil is illusory, they may be speaking of free will in a same way.

A few quotes to follow show how Judaism deals with the problem of evil: "...the appearance that evil has an independent existence is illusionary and all that appears 'evil' from a human perspective is in fact truly subordinate to God, serving God's purpose in some inscrutable way. Thus in most forms of Jewish mysticism, evil is part of Creation, a byproduct from the 'other side', or Sitra Achra, of the divine emanation. 'Evil is the chair for good,' as the Baal Shem Tov put it, and suffering, misfortune, and sin are necessary part of existence. Even evil entities, such as demons, are really subject to, and agents of, God's purpose. Thus Chasidic teaching emphasizes that there is no absolute evil. It is common for mystics to call demons 'destructive angels' to emphasize that they remain obedient to God in some sense. For this reason, one can read in Jewish literature of demons studying Torah, adhereing to Jewish law, and even helping pious Sages. It is based on this also that a few Kabbalistic authorities say it is permitted to summon demons in order to have them perform benificent services for humanity." Rabbi G. W. Dennis, "The Encyclopedia of Jewish Myth, Magic, and Mysticism, page 85.

"Evil and catastrophe [are] endemic factors in the process of creation. Without evil there could be no good, without destruction, creation could not take place." (Kabbalah: An Introduction to Jewish Mysticism, by Byron L. Sherwin, p. 72, according to secondary source Henry Makow: "Kabbalist Doctrine Explians World Events", April 24, 2011) Makow explains why this doctrine is evil: "Evil is the abscence of God, just as darkness is the absence of light. The Kabblah is satanic because it says evil is part of God: 'God has two sides; [both] are essencially one thing; what we experince as evil is as Divine as what we experience as good.' Hence the expression gaining currency today: 'It's all good.'"

This satanic view of God, as I argue here and elsewhere, follows logically from the denial of free will. Thus our view about free will determines our view of God and whether we implicitly accept the satanic or occult view of the Creator.

Martin Luther, founder of the Protestant religion, thought that the question of free will is pivotal: "Let me tell you, therefore-- and let this sink deep into your mind -- I hold that a solemn and vital truth, of eternal consequences, is at stake in this discussion; one so crucial and fundamental that it ought to be maintained and defended even at the cost of life, though as a result the whole world should be, not just thrown into turmoil and uproar, but shattered in chaos and reduced to nothingness." (Martin Luther, "Bondage of the Human Will", p. 90, writing about his dogma of the slave-will)

Ironically, the Muslim view of Allah, as stated in the Quran, closely parallels the Calvinist and Lutheran view of strict predestinarianism, which, although it was not adopted by all subsequent Protestant sects, nevertheless is uniquely Protestant in the sense that, first, the dogma was regarded as heretical by the Catholic Church, and second, Luther was the founder of the Protestant religion, and his intellectual precursors, the Bohemian Hussites, held to the same doga.

In his book In Defense of Israel, pages 60-61, Zionist extraordinaire John Hagee waxes indignant against Islam in that it teaches how demons are agents of God's will, yet he evidently remains safely and sanctimonously ignorant of the fact that the Zionist Rabbis to whom he donates large sums of other people's money are likewise enamored of the idea. Hagee informs us: "The Quran teaches that Allah works with Satan to lead people astray in order to populate the hell he created (Surah 6:39, 126; 32:13; 43:36-37)."

The Rabbis hold virtually the same belief as the Muslims in this regard, as the quote above from Rabbi Dennis attests, yet Hagee neglects to inform us of this. Rabbi Dennis, elsewhere in the aforementioned book, reiterates the Jewish view, which is essentically identical with the view Hagee claims to abhor if preached by Islam: "Unlike Christian mythology, where Satan is often regarded as a kind of 'anti-God', leading the forces of rebellious angels or demons against God's rule, in Jewish tradition Satan is totally subservient to God. In Jewish myth, he functions as God's 'prosecuting attorney', indicting sinners before God and demanding their punishment. As the angel of temptation, he his also conducting perpetual 'sting' operations against mortals, setting them up in situations meant to lead them into transgression. But at no point in normative Jewish literature is there any indication that Satan can act contrary to the will of God." (B.B. 16a; Zohar 1:10b)." (Jewish Myth, Magic, and Mysticism, Rabbi Dennis, page 230) Indeed, Christianity does view Satan as a sort of "anti-God", to use the good Rabbi's term, or more accurately, as a sort of of "anti-Christ".

So, in short, Judaism shares the Muslim view that neither demons, nor even the devil, can act contrary to God's will, and although they may differ in their explanations of why that is so, they both arrive at the same satanic conclusion: the demons are essentially God's errand boys, and the monstrous evil we witness in the world is simply Satan doing God's will. Yet Hagee fails to note that Kabbalistic Judaism shares this Islamic view of God. Thus, Hagee claims, quite inconsistently, that Christians and Jews worship the same God, whereas Muslims do not, because Muslims, he tells us, think demons do God's will. -- and never mind that the Rabbis think the same.

Beware of "them who say they are Jews but are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." -- Jesus Christ In his book Satan: An Autobiography, Rabbi Yahuda Berg, the Kabbalist guru of Maddona, gives us the low down on the devil: Satan loves you. He's bad because that's the job God gave him. It's a dirty job, but somebody gotta do it, says Berg, speaking as Satan's mouthpiece. But can you trust the Devil?

Hagee's view, apart from being logically contradictory, contradicts what Jesus Christ clearly taught: "They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you are the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham. But as it is, you are seeking to kill me, one who has spoken the truth to you which I have heard from God. That is not what Abraham did. You are doing the works of your father." "They therefore said to him, "We have not been born of fornication; we have one father, God." Jesus therefore said to them, "If God were your Father, you would surely love me. For from God I came forth and have come; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. Why do you not understand my speach? Because you cannot listen to my word. The father from whom you are is the devil, and the desires of you father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth...." (Jesus Christ, The Gospel According to Saint John, 8:39-45, DRV Bible.)
