By creating what's right, you also create what's wrong. The speaker at the seminar is misled and misleading.
"All things were made by Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made." (I don't remember the Bible reference, but if you need it, e-mail me and I'll find it. It's in the beginning of John chapter 1.)

If God did away with evil, then He would have to do away with good. And God is good. Does this make sense?

God created Lucifer who rebelled because he wanted to be like God. He was cast out of heaven (Isaiah 14:12 -15). The earth is his (Matthew ch4) domain now, however he does visit heaven to accuse and point fingers on occasion. (Job 1:7 Job 2:1) Satan knows the bible, therefore he knows his time is short for he will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Rev 20:10) in the end. There will no longer be any temptation (sin) NO DEVIL!

The answer to this question would answer a lot of other questions... like why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? The whole bible points to the answer, not just a few verses.
First in the book of Job we learn that God is in control of everything and even though God does not do evil, even bad things must at least be allowed by him. We see Satan asking permission to test Job, God's servant.
You are assuming that God created people not realizing that they would fall. Jesus is not plan "B". He knew given the choice man would eventually sin. Once sin entered the world the punishment would be death. He also knew that in order for man to be reconciled, a sacrifice would have to be made.
That is how God demonstrated His love for us... without sin there would be no need for a savior.
Job said who are we to question God. Where you there when He laid the foundations of the Earth? No, and it is really difficult to trust God but if you really knew Him (by reading the bible for yourself) you would rest assured you are in GOOD hands.

God did not create sin.
In Genesis God created the Angels.
Chirst saw the fall of Satan. Christ chose to be born to save mankind from darkness(going against God, the Father.)
Who is now Satan was an Angel of God.
There was a war in Heaven as who was Lucifer is now Satan was cast out from Heaven as those Angels who fought with Satan. They are now demons. This is why Satan is called the prince of darkness, because without God there is darkness, which means without God's Love.
God created the Earth and found it to be good. God created man and then woman.
The first sin (to go against God) was the temptation of Eve. Satan turned himself into a snake and tempted Eve to eat the apple, in turn because Adam saw Eve's state and felt compassion for her, he too ate the apple.
The first sin was Satan turning himself into a snake to tempt Eve.
The second sin was when Satan lied to God telling him he did not tempt Eve.
The third sin was when God saw Eve's and Adam's condition.
God's punishment to Satan, stuck in the form of a snake.
God's punishment to Eve, to bear children and to live as a Human Being.
God's punishment to Adam, to till the land and to take care of Eve, and live as a Human Being.
God's punishment to Adam and Eve, they were cast out of Paradise.
Satan creates the evil in the world. The whore of Babylon was a human female who gave her soul to Satan for powers. She works along with Satan for the downfall of humanity, as well as the other demons.
This took much study and research. The information is in the Bible as I read it several times.
The Bible has been rewritten and is not the same as when I had studied the Bible many years ago.

In the Plan of Salvation that God presented to all the spirits in the pre-mortal spirit world, He told us of the importance in having opposition in all things while we lived in mortality--to test us to see if we will choose the right paths of righteousness to return to Him.
God's great gift of free agency is for all, but if there is no opposition to things we could not appreciate the sweet if we don't taste the bitter. Lucifer rebelled against God, trying to ururp his very majesty and omnipotence. For that, Lucifer and a third of the hosts of heaven were cast down to earth to serve one purpose in the Plan of Salvation. That purpose was to provide the opposition that all mankind must have to choose for themselves.
Satan, or Lucifer, will be chained for a 1,000 years upon the Second Coming of Christ. After the Millenium, Lucifer will be released "for a short season" before he is forever cast in hell for the eternities.
God sired Lucifer just as He created all of us. In every family there are wicked and righteous members. Lucifer was the wicked one in the family of human spirits. Satan thought he knew the mind of God, but fell into the plan unknowingly--to tempt Adam and Eve and all their descendants.
In short, this mortality that we are currently in, called the second estate, is a proving ground to see if we will choose the right paths for eternal glory or for eternal damnation. Without opposition we could not choose for ourselves. That is why Satan is with us.

Lucifier IS Satan. His name changed because God made it changed. It's true, God DID NOT create sin. He wanted everything to be peaceful. Lucifier is an archangel that used to be closet to God, but he thought he can be stronger and more powerful than God. So then God sent him to hell and called him Satan. Trying to be stronger and more powerful than God is a SIN. So every since that time in Heaven, there was sin in this world.

there is not any longer something like that interior the bible. devil is completely a be conscious meaning 'adversary'. And this is the adversary of guy, no longer god. So this entire fallen angel that grew to become the perfect evil element fairly is completely some borrowed mistranslations and representations from different gods of diverse areas. His photograph is definitely modeled after Pan, a Roman god. Muldah: the 1st little bit of scripture you quote does not say something approximately it being approximately devil in any respect. the 2d area is in connection with a Babylonian king, who's call in Latin is Lucifer. So, no longer something you have offered has something to do with devil. comparable with the guy under me.

It is important to know that nobody knows. That is why all religions are based on faith.
Here is a link for information on this subject.
