Ultimately evil will be destroyed. Is this a temporal issue? God allows
evil only because God respects our free will. People choose evil.

Funny:
I want you to express your free will. If you do good, I will love you and
reward you in this life and with the attainment of heaven in the afterlife. If
you do evil, I will smite you and burn you down in this life and punish you with
eternal fire in the afterlife. But you are “free” to choose as pleases you.
Choose.
It seems to me that if you actually believe this mumbo-jumbo then that’s not
really much of a choice. Frankly, how is this different from having a gun held
to your head. Sure, you don’t have to do what I say -- but if not: Bang! Bang!
