“God brings about all things in accordance with his will. It isn’t just that God manages to turn the evil aspects of our world to good for those that love him; it is rather that he himself brings about these evil; No! What you suggest is blasphemous & means He bends man's wills to do evil which is ghoulish trash. God allows it to happen but doesn't put the desires to sin in the minds of people who do such horrors. He isn't bound by time which means He sees past, present & future all at once; aspects… This includes God’s having even brought about the Nazi’s brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child.” Mark Talbot; He allows because He gives man a choice otherwise we'd be mere puppets devoid of life but with choice comes the possibility of evil. He foreknows choices in eternity & allows them in time but He DOES NOT tempt man to sin. The story of Joseph & his brothers illustrates this well; He knew the only salvation for man was Jesus' sacrifice. Jesus agreed to it & as painful as it was He allowed this to make a way for the elect, a provision for the rest. He allowed what happened to Christ because an atonement of love that satisfied His wrath against sin was the only way to reconcile us to Himself. Giving us a choice allows sin to happen but without the allowance of choice there would be no separate living creature therefore no Life for Him or us.
