Something that is good ,is good.
You would not describe the good being done, by describing the evil it is not doing.

You would not describe Evil as the good it was not doing.

A good action is not the absence of an evil action.

...the 'Good' shepherd lays his life down for the sheep.  God[good] was/is reconciling the world through Christ........

     satan is a robotic artifice......a craftsman's hammer.....that when finished with it...it raises itself up against He that Weilds it....

    and is destroyed...for after it has destroyed that which God has decreed it...it shall be destroyed.   a mere tool, used of the Lord

  to educate His children in this exercise in evil.

    liken it unto chess..with God in control of both negative and positive expierences

God, the Creator, originated both good and evil. Without evil there is no knowledge of what is good. All is of God.

A quote from Gary R. Habernas & Michael R. Licona

The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus

Chapter 10 - Who Did Jesus Think He Was ?

Quote.. It may be that we currently live in the best of all possible worlds where free beings are involved. God cannot accomplish logical absurdities. Is it possible for God to create a married bachelor in the strictest sense of these terms? Can God smell the color of nine or draw a square circle? If God is unable to accomplish logically contradictory actions, this does not limit His omnipotence. But how does this relate to the problem of evil? Perhaps it is logically impossible to have a world in which all free beings always freely choose to live righteously. As long as there is a reasonable possibility, one cannot claim that the matter has been decided. We may very well live in a world that has an optimized balance of the greatest amount of good with a minimal amount f evil. Thus, evil does not render impossible the existence of an all-good and all-powerful God.

Adam at first had no knowledge of evil.
He knew that God and his creation was Good.
