 Some suspicious people disparage Calvin by incorrectly saying that God designed evil for the nefarious purpose of irretrievably ruining people. Since God decreed the personal sin of the first man then He maintained destructive purposes that He improperly placed upon man. But how can we be angry at the convicted perpetrators of violent crimes if in fact we falsely ascribe to God in that same category? What is the key difference between God and a condemned criminal?

 But instead of explaining this in possible terms of how God views one small sin graciously allow me to adequately explain this in how God shelters us.Obviously if there is one sin then it is not only a cruel deed performed against God but against mankind. Here represent the acute problem. If God disproportionately represent a God of violent destruction then what kind of reaction would be acceptable other than to rejoice in the destructive acts that violent man carries out against one another? I do not think we can reluctantly have half in the destructive purposes and half in the renewal.

 Obviously since sin entered the world and God decreed it to enter, then the question is for what apparent reason served God to intentionally allow sin to enter into the peaceful world? This question invariably seeks more questions. There are many divine mysteries about why God would allow sin and destruction. Consequently, since God does not address this in detail then we are in danger of adding to the destructive purposes of sin and therefore adding to the sorrow of sin. If we try to pursue the accursed things that are mysteries then we inevitably include sorrow to ourselves. 

 The key point is God has prudently decided to shelter us from mutual destruction by stating the essential difference between what sin does and how God acts to renew the exposed earth. Its like this.If I did not recognize the destructive diseases that was ruining people then I would not grasp what to shun. I would be unfamiliar with my own susceptibility to the peculiar dangers of contracting that disease. But if the disease was convincingly shown to me then I could evade it. Well, God has not explained all the complex reasons that He has decreed sin but He has vouchsafed us in accurately identifying it and generously providing a full remedy so that we do not suffer the material and mental effects of it.

 But we know that sin has brought the terrible curse of unavoidable death.And yet God has provided us a genuine desire to live.That lifelong desire in the bible is rightfully considered a divine blessing. And on the other hand the undesirable consequences of sin is to be bitterly cursed. Hence, the question is since God blessed us from the consequences of the infinite troubles of sins isn't it a curse trying to uncover the harmful consequences in blaming God? And this is the whole point of God promptly declaring He exclusively is the independent judge of the earth. He prevents us from the possible harm.

 Therefore, God knows we would try to act as a god if we accused Him of being unjust in decreeing sin. But God does not explain Himself. He merely declares He is a God of salvation.To set the world back in order, He must curse sin for the purpose of protecting His people from destruction. 

Its like when you were providing for kids and said the clever thing was to provoke your fights. Some things you let slip because they were naive at the time. Consequently, you did not become overbearing. The bible warns judgement on those who do not cover over a multitude of sins. God is preventing us from being the arbitrators of ultimate justice because His choice to curse and bless allows us to empathize with all men. God has delivered us all freedom to fail and move on by Him assuming the responsibility attending the arbitration.
