WHO .. permits wickedness, God?

Genesis 3:4

  What happens when the seemingly innocent question, why does God "permit" wickedness, works like an accusation, implementing him in crimes due to negligence ? 

     What happened to the respectable God who gave Moses the ten commandments, forbidding, not permitting wickedness ? Has he surrendered his throne or renounced his moral principals, turning away from mankind? Is judgment day cancelled so, why even try? 2Pe.3:7 After all, he can't render judgment against what he allegedly "permits" can he ? Is the ransom sacrifice of Christ now obsolete, since God has become "permissive", as Christendom charlatan clergy suggest ? If God now permits wickedness, who if anyone forbids it? Is this simply a harmless phrase, a matter of semantics, or can  it become  a dangerous subliminal message, suggesting God is indifferent to wicked acts and human suffering, subconsciously subverting faith since, for all practical purposes, "God is dead" ?

     Jehovah God does not describe himself  with the phrase "God permits wickedness "( confirmed by computerized bible scan ). God's word cautions about  scripturally illiterate philosophies; " we should no longer be babes, tossed about as by waves and carried hither and thither by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in contriving error. But speaking the truth, let us by love grow up in all things into him who is the Christ". Eph.4:14  (this is not meant to imply the phrase is ever  deliberately  used  derogatorily ). Isaiah's words encourage cautious speech; "woe to those who are saying  that good is bad and bad is good, those who are putting  darkness for light and light for darkness...." Is.5:20

     A large scale example of this "contriving error" "is displayed by a world suffering from two global civil wars (so far). These were acts of treason against the divine law of universal love. Many participants have neither recognized this to be sin nor have vowed never to repeat it, even denying guilt and blaming God for permitting it. (in Viet Nam, I blamed only my own self). The truth is "the god of this system of things", who blinds and plays mind games,( 2Cor.4:4 ), Satan, and His world permit, even promote the wickedness Jehovah God righteously forbids, to prevent suffering. Jehovah dose not prevent the abuse of free will, only by running it's chosen course, will this world resolve the issue of universal sovereignty.

     Amidst "the roaring of the sea and it's agitation"  (Lk.21:25), of this turbulent world, we must "Look out : perhaps there will be someone who will carry you off as his prey through the philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary things of the world and not according to Christ. Col2:8, ( like our own selves, I've used the phrase many times ).

     How can we clarify this convoluted picture puzzle of blame and denial...and it's bazaar  semantics?  By adding the two missing pieces.

First: When asked why does God "permit" wickedness, we can simply re-phrase the discussion by responding with, "I can tell you why God doesn't prevent it". This may seem trite at first but this contrast already begins to exonerate the accused before we even address the issue.

Second: Use God's Word to correctly describe himself when accused by worldly words. "If now, God, although having the will to demonstrate his wrath and make his power known, tolerated with much long suffering vessels of wrath made fit for destruction, ... Ro.9:22 Dose tolerated with much long suffering, denote permissive indifference, or righteous indignation ?

To be sure, this is a rather obscure psychological / scriptural battle to take the burden of proof off Jehovah God who forbids wickedness, and put it right back on the "ruler of the world", Satan who promotes it.  ( phewwww , I'm no scholar, how'm I doing so far ?)

     This subject demonstrates the value of relying on God's Word; "all scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, reproving, for  disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." 2Tim.3:16

     Jehovah dose not grant instant enlightenment but his word helps reasoning skills; "Let your utterance always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so as to know how you ought to give an answer to each one. Col.4:5

     Ultimately, whether we choose to reply god permits wickedness, as a conversational courtesy to the world, or he tolerates it out of reverence to God, is a matter of personal priority, and "being all things to all people".
