Didn't Jesus know that Israel would refuse the gospel? Yet in Matthew 10 we read
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
I think the perfect example was Noah
2 Peter 2
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Noah preached to no effect but he was rewarded for his obedience.
I believe we have an obligation to share the Good News with everyone. The result is not in our hands. I had not considered it as OP put it ..but that seems correct..The order of God was that the gospel should be preached to everyone..and there will be a cost if we are not obedient in that
See that quote, that is from OP. Note the word permission
See, how you have to have a permissive will placed in so you will not God the one responsible for sin. In other words, it is the individual who is permitted to use his own will to choose
In order for you to stay anywhere near the Bible you have to pretend that God is not directly responsible for sin
