"So, although god was pissed, he eventually calmed down and decided to give mankind a second chance through Jesus Christ. It's interesting that a perfect being can have a change of heart isn't it (ie. make a mistake?)"

He didn't change his mind he was mad at Adam and Eve not at there decedents. So he decided to make it possible for there offspring to regain what Adam and Eve had lost.



"Anyway, knowing these "facts" for the last 2000 or so years, and being the intelligent beings that you are, can't you simply apologize to god, thank him for the Christ option, and explain that you'd rather just be with him straight away? If you all know sinning is wrong, and you all agree with the rules Christ set down, why must you endure a lifetime of testing & temptation?"

Well Adam and Eve's rebellion along with the lies the devil told about God lying brought up a question.
Are people better off governing themselves or would it be better if God governed them? Was he really holding back from them?
To answer this question God has had to allow people to govern themselves, try different forms of government, and advance technology. Over time they have proving they can not govern themselves and that they use technological advances to make more destructive weapons. God will stop this before they destroy themselves and when the question has been fully answered for the benefit of those who are to live under his kingdom.
Otherwise the question would remain. God also only interfered in human history to provide an escape route for mankind, but other then that he has allowed people to govern themselves without his interference.

I do not think pain, misfortune, sickness and bad things are a result of expulsion from paradise, but rather the effect of Adam choosing to listen to Satan and choosing to follow his words rather than the words of God. God said if he took the fruit of the tree of knowledge, Adam would die. Adam is dead.

God was not pissed, but rather he implemented his plan that nobody should die. Sure, we die in our bodies, but our spirits live forever.

Now, you can choose your destiny. Will your spirit reside in Heaven or Hell?

You do not have to apologize, you only have to chose Jesus. Jesus has set things "straight".

There is only one unforgivable sin, the rest are erased from the record when you accept Jesus.

The choice is yours, God is a gentleman and will not force it upon you.
