So why is it that God allows evil? One big reason is so that evil can do it's "perfect work." After all the information He's given us and all the work He's done for us, He still wants His chosen ones, that have chosen Him, to be thoroughly convinced He's got the best deal. So He allows the opposition to field their options, dressing them up as best they can. He allows the other voices which opine that there are many viable alternatives.
But....He is still God, not all of the other pretenders. All ideas have consequences, even seemingly ephemeral ones. Take, for instance, this idea that everybody has a right to "their own truth." One who cannot be bothered to investigate the claims of any purportedly transendant truth, because it might contradict their cherished principals of self gratification, would also be mortally offended by the "violation" of the inner sanctum of a third party with the same inconvenient and unwelcome facts. The more important the subject, the more of a no-man's land it becomes. Within the shelter of political correctness, complacency has fattened itself to the point of insensibility. A self satisfied society, under the banner of pluralism, has allowed the enemy in.
Without the walls of truth to defend us, we are already destroyed. Love's biased mandate cannot be heard by deafened ears. Another yammering, raised to a cresendo to drown out all others, has rushed in to fill the void left by morals. Rigid legalism is what always replaces the freedom of living in Christ's love, and all roads without Christ Jesus lead to one place: the bondage of slavery!
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”.
