ACC ~ James 1 v16

THE DECEPTION. HILARY OF ARLES: This refers to the deception of the heretics who think that because God rules the physical world in darkness and in light, in drought and in rain, in cold and in heat, so he also rules over human wills with the same determinateness—in good and in bad, in sadness and in joy, in death and in life. Because of this error, James goes on to add that it is “every good endowment and every perfect gift” which comes from the Father of lights. INTRODUCTORY TRACTATE ON THE LETTER OF JAMES.

GOD TEMPTS NO ONE. ANDREAS: “Do not be deceived” into thinking that temptations come from God. CATENA.
