Hello Friends!
I hate to begin my monachos.net membership with a cry for help (till now, I've just been a window shopper here!), but alas...I'm in great need!
I find myself far, far away from a decent library and I need to find one quote from Saint Basil:
In His love for man, God allowed death, "ina mh to kakon a8anaton genhtai." ("so that evil would not become eternal.")
I suppose I actually have two questions:
1) Does anyone know exactly where in Saint Basil this passage is located? My educated guess is that it is from his Homily 9, "That God Is Not the Cause of Evil" 7 PG 31, 345B. But I'm not certain.
2) Only if you have very easy access to Migne, would you mind taking a peek for me and sending me the exact quote and reference? If it takes more than 5 minutes, please leave it and I'll figure something else out!
My apologies for my boldness...and thanks in advance for any thoughts!
