If one is to take your question at face value and instead of the evasive, leading argument used most by Lawyers seeking to give themselves a avenue of innocent questioning -- it's Free Will. It's always been about Free Will, God's greatest gift to humankind.

The freedom to choose is the freedom to make the wrong choice. If God had to forcibly interdict post the death of Jesus Christ, the second Adam - then he becomes no better than Lucifer who is allowed to cheat instead of holding to his absolute principles as the absolute, creator Lord of existence. His creation, Humanity, must and is allowed to act freely on the material plane as designed by God and thus are swayed by the easy sins and mistakes.

You make the age old Jewish argument of "if God is so powerful, why does he allow-", full stop right there. Because its Free Will, humanity makes the mistakes of mistranslations and alterations of texts from a position of the Sin of Pride.
