Ofcourse, God can never be accused of committing evil.
Why is Satan never ever mentioned on here, not to glorify Him, but to explain why confusion abounds on these pages, is a mystery to me. But maybe not such a mystery when I read what God has to say;
2 Corinthians 4:4
In their case the God of this world has blinded the MINDS of unbelievers to keep them from SEEING the light.
Yes, the evil one snatches away the word FROM those who do not understand it.
19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path
Jesus spoke to the disciples clearly the message, a true explained revelation.
But to those to whom the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom are not given, (given here is an act of the Father's revelation into your spirit and mind these secrets of His), they are spoken to in parables. For what end?
"Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them"
This has serious implications for understanding being one of the called out ones from the world, that such ones have been given the secrets of the kingdom of God, AND this knowledge has not been given to all. And for these others who have not been given these secrets, what they have will be TAKEN from them. Their destiny is hell fire. They loose everything, whatever they had is gone. Even the natural life teaches you this as death takes all none can take anything with them when they die, EXCEPT for the things that they did in the power of God working inward and outward in their life.
There's always an EXTREME contrast, as far as east is from west, between saved and not saved, the people of God vs the people of the world. Their is no inbetweenness, each ones final destination is certain and determined by those to whom the secrets, that is God's truth have been revealed by the Father.

Matthew 10
10 The disciples came to him and asked, Why do you speak to the people in parables?
11 He replied, Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this peoples heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.[a]
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
