So the God who let’s others have ‘free will’ to harm His other children?

If I let one of my kids abuse on of my other kids... that would make me a bad parent, would it not?

Absolutely, or free-will is not intact.

He does, otherwise, free-will is not intact.

I don't claim to understand it all, but I do know, not just believe, He is a PERFECT God.

#122: God doesn’t let “others” have free will. He let’s ALL of us. And those of us who sin receive punishment. God’s laws are like laws of nature/physics. You reap what you sow; what goes around comes around. There is a cause and effect. Haven’t you noticed that enough in your own life? Haven’t you ever done something for which you are ashamed and it comes back to haunt you by way of a similar thing happening to you? If not, then you haven’t reaped what you sowed (or you are in denial). He is a very just God. For those who believe in him and his Son, we know that we are punished on earth for the sins we commit. There is not punishment in heaven for those who believe—only rewards.
