How can God allow evil

The question comes up as to how God can allow evil to exist if He is All-powerful and desires only good. If God is able but unwilling to prevent evil, he would be malevolent; if he were willing but unable to prevent evil, he would be impotent. So if God exists which is He, malevolent, or impotent?

God is powerless to deny His own holiness. He is by definition more holy and righteous and pure than anything else. This means that everything else is less holy and righteous than God. So everything else is corrupt and evil to some extent. Thus evil exist because nothing can be more pure than God.
