What a loving God that would make him.... And ultimately, EVEN IF he was giving them a choice, he still put the tree there, so he still wanted it there. Regardless of why He put it there, He put it there knowing every person that would suffer for it. So regardless of why, He still chose to. If he thought it was that important or if He loved those lost people that much he would have kept it out of there. But, regardless of why, He didn\'t. Which means He wanted it there. Knowing it caused sin. He knew. And so he must have wanted sin.
