I missed this the first time around.
Now you've gone full circle. The purpose of sin is so that God can give us salvation from the sin he created in the first place. Without some other seed outside of this circle, it's useless and unnecessary. It's no different than me posting a sign reading "IT IS UNLAWFUL TO DEFACE THIS SIGN". I mean, that could be true and all, but if my goal is to not have that sign defaced, and if that sign is serving no other purpose... why even have the sign?
