Another way to stop evil from doing anything is to condemn it to Hell before it does anything evil. God knows the future. He knows
everything from now to the far reaches of Eternity. He knows how one person would act if one is raised in a different society with
a different environment. God knows enough to know who is going to Hell and who's going to be saved. So why didn't God just
cast evil into Hell at the beginning of creation? Why didn't God create the elect into Heaven immediately? There are many reasons.
The most obvious would be that the elect have sympathy for evil. They may go,"Why God, did you put beings in Hell without letting
them live?" That is one bad situation. Another bad situation is that the elect could all be spoiled from lack of character. An even
worse situation is that some of the elect may actually become evil themselves having not experienced the situation on Earth. Its
entirely possible with free choice for someone to become evil. Also simply creating evil into Hell, and good into Heaven totally
changes reality in ways our mortal minds can't conceive. Its an idea, but its in all likely hood a bad one.
