Often, it is far better to choose evil and learn from our errors, and then turn to God in humility and seek redemption, just as the prodigal son did.

Remember, the vineyard workers that arrived in the last hour got the same pay.

Saul becoming Paul is an excellent example of this.

No, not by any means. Because the evil we choose does not affect only us. It virtually always damages or destroys other lives as well and that can have eternal consequences.

It also leads to a great deal of regret and remorse for those consequences.

I would far rather have not sinned and hurt another than think it was better for me to have sinned. I can learn without sucking others into the maelstrom of destruction my life left in its wake.

Adam and Eve could have learned about good an d evil another way, God's way, than destroying the whole human race with their one decision to choose that sin.

You are one twisted individual.

No, don’t choose evil. We can learn enough from the prodigal son, and others, that we don’t need to choose evil, so, I don’t agree with your opinion on that.

“but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.”
(Rom 16:19b)

“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?”
(Rom 6:1,2)

What you typed is ignorant of God’s very Word. A demonstration of immaturity- or worse.
