The answer to this question is older than mankind and possibly planet earth.
The scriptures teach of a situation in heaven that very few have understood.
The answer isn't simple to explain or understand, you need more than a few
moments of someones time to answer. This question has been asked since the dawn of time.

Keys to understanding why God Almighty allows evil to exist is removing yourself

from your point of view.
Stepping out of the box so to speak and entering the realm of heaven.
