A while ago I retracted my question/oppinion of God/Evil and Sanctification, but since so many people have looked at this post, I may as well write something and you guys can hack or add until it is orthodox
I had recently been thinking about God and Evil as well as the implications of Supralapsarianism and Infralapsarianism, I think I would be considered Infralapsarian in my view of God and Evil/providence and sanctification(correct me if I am wrong).
My view so far is that God created evil by retraction rather than action, I will use the angels as an example. With the angels I believe that God was holding them in a state of holiness, when God wanted Satan to fall He retracted that holiness to result in Satan's emnity toward God causing his fall. With the world I believe God has a restraint on the evil that people can do, so for the non christian if that person desires to sin, God has to retract his hold on that capability thus allowing that person to sin. People have different sins they struggle with, I think every single person has the capability and desire to some degree of every single sin, God allows men to do the sins that ultimately aid to His plan of Redemption and glory. As it says in the Bible(I'll try and add the verse soon) God gives people over to their sin resulting in more sin, I think that would presuppose that God has a restraint on the capasity for each persons sins. For the Christian in Sanctification I think it would be the same as the non Christian only that the Christian was given faith, the Christian actually wants to do good works for God's glory by the grace of the Holy Spirit working in them.
There may be gaps in my logic somewhere, so please help me to fill them in
