Copartnership impossible

There is neither a present nor an eternal copartner- ship between error and Truth, between flesh and Spirit. God is as incapable of producing sin, sick- ness, and death as He is of experiencing these errors. How then is it possible for Him to create man subject to this triad of errors, - man who is made in the divine likeness?

Does God create a material man out of Himself, Spirit? Does evil proceed from good? Does divine Love com- mit a fraud on humanity by making man inclined to sin, and then punishing him for it? Would any one call it wise and good to create the primitive, and then punish its derivative?
