Don't be confused: Take a deep breath; read several different translations of Genesis chapter 2 & 3. As you read it, think about the entire Bible. Ask God to open the scriptures. Compare what the different translations say. Check the meaning of words in Strong's.
@bbyrd009 I have been saying from the start that I define Evil as Disobedience. I know what Isaiah 47 says. What I understand from you is that you mistake true Evil, which is rebellion and disobedience, from the human perspective of things we dislike and call evil. Evil: that is rebellion and disobedience is a lack, an absence, of The Good. Lucifer was created Good. He rebelled against The Good. So he lacks Goodness.
I am running late and can't finish this. I hope you understand what I am trying to say. I feel certain that you are worried that I think God did not create everything. What I am suggesting is the only way I know to reconcile The Goodness of God with the existence of Evil.
Rejoice Always
