John S. Feinberg Sovereignty Theodicy/Defence: Eight Ways God Could Eliminate Evil (PhD Edit) 

Twitter version I

Seventh, God could prohibit bodily movements that lead to immoral actions being committed. This could be done by natural or supernatural means. 

Twitter version II

In other words, human beings would have built within their bodies the inability to do actions that lead to immorality, or God could simply intervene supernaturally and prevent wrong actions from occurring.

Twitter version III

Even if Feinberg is correct and God could prohibit wrong bodily actions and does not, the mere prevention of bodily movement would be an indicator of deeper spiritual problems.

Ultimately problems of evil are ended for those post-mortem, within the Kingdom of God. These persons have the applied atoning work of Jesus Christ, and are eventually at the Second Advent resurrected to moral perfection (1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 20-22, 1 Thessalonians 4, 2 Thessalonians 2).
