I always had the question, why God couldn't take us as we are, why it had to be the way it was, but I get it now.

God is good, what he is not, is evil. evil is what God is not. Now we were given the ability to chose, now in order to have the ability to chose, there has to be multiple things to chose from. Good and evil. evil is the other choice. Now since we've all sinned, we have been tainted, and how can God accept us, when we contain stuff that is not of him. All of the stuff within us that is not of him, must be taken out, before he can accept us. If he accepted us as we were, he would be accepting what he is not, which is evil, but he cannot do this because in order to do this, he would have to accept us, accept evil, accept what he is not, as what he wants. But this cannot be, which makes a whole lot more sense to me now.

If we didn't have a choice, we never would do evil, the ability to do evil is a result of choice...
