Islam has recently adopted this view and the evil which has

[E]verything that happens results from God's choosing it to happen. When a man acts, God creates in him the will, the power and the intention to act.66

Charles Manson, agreeing with Palmer, Blavatsky and the Moslems asks, "If God is One, then what is bad?"67 One Intervarsity editor observes:

Few people realize Charles Manson was immersed in the One for all. . .This is the great mystery—the ultimate paradox with which Eastern religions perpetually wrest.

Both Mark Satin and Jerry Rubin speak of legitimate experiences where good and evil dissipate into 'the One',68

Those, like Manson, Blavatsky and the NIV's Chief, Edwin Palmer, who see God as 'the One'—driving both evil and good—"call evil good" (Isaiah 5:20). They are setting the stage for the slaughter of those who are saved during the tribulation. Jesus forewarned:

Yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. John 16:2
