Allows, yes; yet He is not the source of it. It is foreknown (He knows our end as well as beginning all at once) but not preordained. Because of His foreknowledge (He knows what choices we will make) everything works to His purpose. But He is not the source or cause of it.
Bless you! Another excellent post!
