Why does GOD allow...

People are always asking “Why does GOD allow abortion?” “Why does GOD allow Christians to be tortured?” “Why does GOD allow ------(you fill in the blank.)” Does GOD really allow all the evil things that happen in the world today? No. GOD tolerates evil. What is the difference between “allow” and “tolerate”? Allowance is giving license. Tolerate says I don’t want this and I will only permit it for a specific time and purpose. To “allow” means that you are giving your approval of it even without your actions. To “tolerate” something means to put up with something for a certain period of time, with the knowledge that although this is wrong and GOD will stop it, He will use it for His glory and purpose. GOD says ALL things work together for the Glory of GOD. GOD created Satan and all other evils for a purpose. And He will let them have some power to carry it out. But only for a limited time period. Then all evil will be bound and cast in to the bottomless pit. So GOD does not allow abortion, He tolerates it for a limited time and it will stop when GOD’s time for it has run out. So He gives Satan some power, so that we can see the great love of GOD and choose ourselves to accept the work of grace. That also means that some will choose not to accept the grace.
