A Literal Genesis Entails An Evil God

Hence the hasty choice by the believer in claiming it's all part of humanity's history.

God did not need to make them sin, He just created the circumstances needed. Adam & Eve where no differant than us today, they where carnel minded and therefore prone to sin, think about it, Eve before takeing one bite of the fruit had allready sinned, as she coveted with vain lust after the lies of Satan. The eating of the fruit was just the physical action required, so God could deliver them out of His earthly nest and into our world to learn good and evil. What most of "christiandom" does not realize, is that God has not finnished creating us yet !

So how do you reconcile the truth that the narrative tells us this being is malicious with his other self, who is loving towards everyone? The first ever being to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder perhaps?
