Another Christian who hasn't read the bible:
Isiah 45:7 says hello.
Created limited free will creatures allow for the possibility of the deprivation and combined with Satan( the father of lies , temptations and deception ) you have the existence of evil actualized on earth. God knew it would occur but created humans anyway and has provided a path of redemption. An eternal being sees present and future the same, unlike us. Christ made the sinless sacrifice, those who trust and follow his teaching spend eternity with the creator. Those that don’t , do not. The best of all possible worlds ( humans created with limited free will to choose ) and (evil allowed by God to manifest in time ) for the greater good theodicy’s playing itself out in history. God is sovereign. God did not create evil and it is not part of his being.
