Well, putting the verse in context is always the right approach but your exposition changes nothing.

God does not want His children to intentionally engage in sin or evil, or, as you wrote, “choose evil and learn from our (their) error”.

The indwelling Holy Spirit should be instructing His believers “giving the way out” of the temptation to sin. God hates sin.

Never did I say or think the word “intentionally.”

We are all sinners, even if not intentionally. Maybe my wording above was not the best.

We must all make choices and we sometimes unknowingly choose evil.

Choosing Christ is a choice. Many people accidentally choose imitations they think are Christ.

I stand by my original statements, especially concerning the importance of Love. If you do not understand this, you are missing Jesus’s main teaching.

Remember Jesus’s comments on sin. They are very important and accurate.
