Well said Kathy!
The struggle some people are having with this question has its roots in the battle between God's soverign will versus the free will of man.
It has no neat and tidy answer. One could ask, "Why did God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, and why did he allow Satan to beguile Adam and Eve?"
I place such questions in the mysteries of God category. The Bible says, For we see through a glass darkly, but then later, face-to-face. We don't have all the answers yet, and will have to wait until we are on the other side of eternity before we can find out. But then it probably won't matter to us anymore.
