The Problem of Evil, Reconciliation of Good and Evil

Mr. Fillmore often speaks of a combination of forces in his teachings which are based on the Trinity. Through understanding this principle, forces which appear contradictory are creatively reconciled, and a higher synthesis emerges. Resistance or opposition makes effort necessary in life. It can come in many forms and we often label these forms "bad," "evil," "the devil," etc. Jesus named it "the adversary." When we understand the character of, and necessity for, this "combination of forces," we are able to make room in our attitudes for their existence. We do not need to get negative or violent. We learn how to agree with "the adversary," (nonresistance). This is followed by the manifestation of new blessings, answered prayer, and further opportunities. It\'s important to remember that the apparent opposition force itself is not evil or sinful. It is only our wrong interpretation of it, our negativity about it, and our attempt to misuse it that causes the harm and suffering brought about by such "sin."
