There are things in history that have turned out exactly as they shouldn't, because people of good conscience failed to act.

Can you name one? I don't find this concept in the Bible.

In many cases, it could well have been because they assumed God would make everything right.

Hold it right there. By definition, God DOES make everything right. His justice is perfect. He can do no wrong.

Perhaps your perception of what is "right" is wrong.

And as I've quoted, the book of James agrees with me on this.

James says faith without works is dead. But, I don't see where he says the success of God's perfect plan relies on any fallible man. As I've said before, the sovereign Creator is not subject to the will of His creation.

I don't find this concept in the Bible.

You seriously can't think of a single instance in the Bible where God is disappointed, dismayed, and angered by the actions of man?

By definition, God DOES make everything right.

But He "allows" evil to happen, ain't that right? If so, it then becomes up to us to fix it, or at least fight it. So we keep coming back to the same central point.
