God's will is sacred, perfect, and right. Everything He does is right, even the flood. He knows what's best, even if we don't. His will is perfect. Just because we don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't right.

I'm going to answer the original question posed by this thread, I feel the rest of this thread gets dangerously close to attempting to know the mind of God, which is a stupid pursuit, being impossible. A world without sin, on the other hand, is imaginable. While some people might think me strange for thinking this, I think that sin made the world complete. In a world without sin and temptation, it is easy to do right, easy to be close to God, and easy to be happy. In such a world, in fact, right and happiness wouldn't truly exist because there would be no wrong or sadness. In the world we have, for all of its horrors and evil, we also have the extraordinarily good. To struggle against temptation to do right brings me closer to God than doing an easy right ever could. Fighting against sin, while difficult, makes me happier than I ever could be without that struggle. Sin may seem to be an unmitigated evil, but without it, life could not be so rich, and God himself could not feel so good to us. Whether you agree with me or not, there is a seed of truth in this. How much more wonderful is something good at the end of a terrible day? How much more wonderful, then is faith, when achieved after a long, hard struggle with sin?
