Thus it is not applicable to God to claim that he is unjust because he does not immediately prevent every and all evils perpetuated by human actions. He has to allow it. But that does not mean he will not address it when the the good he seeks for our sake comes to its fruition.
I agree that God has to allow evil because we have free will, so people have to be free to choose good or evil, and that means there will be evil in the world as long as there are evil people. There is no alternative because if God stepped in every time someone was about to do evil that would upset the whole order of Creation. The whole purpose of life is to learn and grow from our choices, so we have to have choices. Unfortunately, there is collateral damage to good people when evil people commit evil acts.
The difference is that God is not a moral creature bound in time. We are those creatures bound to moral action in time. God is the good to be realized by moral creatures after they have acted in time.
No, but what is applicable to us as moral agents in time is not applicable to the good itself outside of all time. God governs in the view of eternity. We act in the limitations of time. God and the creature cannot be compared. The chasm between the two is infinite.
But now I have a problem, when you say that God is the good. How do you know that? There is no way you can know that, and as such it is just a belief, a belief based solely upon your religious scriptures. I have a serious problem with a good God that allows so much suffering in the world, NOT the suffering owing to free will choices, the other suffering that humans
and animals have to to endure because God set it up that way by creating a material world in which suffering is unavoidable.
“Some things are subject to the free will of man, such as justice, equity, tyranny and injustice, in other words, good and evil actions; it is evident and clear that these actions are, for the most part, left to the will of man. But there are certain things to which man is forced and compelled, such as sleep, death, sickness, decline of power, injuries and misfortunes; these are not subject to the will of man, and he is not responsible for them, for he is compelled to endure them. But in the choice of good and bad actions he is free, and he commits them according to his own will.” Some Answered Questions, p. 248
For me, the religious apologetic that we grow stronger, that we become more spiritual as a result of suffering, does not cut it, because many people do not grow, but rather they are broken. Then we have another serious problem, the unequal distribution of 'undue' suffering; why does a just and loving God allow that? To blame the people who suffer because they could not endure that suffering and call them weak or unholy souls is nothing short of cruel, judgmental, and lacking in compassion.
I go against my own religious teachings when I say that I question God's goodness, but otherwise I have to go against logic and reason, and I cannot do that. It makes no sense that a 'good God' would allow so much suffering which is so unequally distributed. When I say 'allow' I mean have suffering be the fate of certain people and not others.
