It is setting the word of God against itself to say that the devil is a being which forces us to sin and be unrighteous, whilst at the same time he supposedly brings problems into our lives which lead to our developing "the peaceable fruit of righteousness".
Hii inaonyesha kwamba majaribu ambayo Mungu anatupatia yanatuongoza mwisho kukua kiroho. ni kupinga neno la Mungu juu yake kusema kwamba Ibilisi ni kiumbe anayetulazimisha kutenda dhambi na kutenda yasiyo haki, Wakati huo huo amedhaniwa kuleta matatizo katika maisha yetu ambayo yanatupeleka tupate maendeleo "matunda ya haki yenye amani".
