From the moment God gave us free will, I believe he truly demonstrated the trust and love that he has for us. With every good thing that we do we prove our love and with every bad thing we only prove that we are lost and need to find our way back.

Wickedness is caused by man and God will not tamper with the will of man. The problems of the world are also caused by man and God has given man dominion over the affairs of the world. I don't think God is to blame for allowing any wickedness. Rather, man should be held responsible for their actions.

I think everything God does, he does for a reason, so we can't question him. He has also given every one of us free will and everything we do has consequences.

God does not permit wickedness, but His mercies are infinite. He gives chances to the wicked so they will have the time to repent. In some cases, humans become so vile that He even hardens their heart so they can't even see their wrongs. Pharaoh was a good example of this. When he refused to listen to moses about God's instructions, the bible says and God hardened Pharaohs heart. God is merciful and many people take that for granted
