Sure, it isn't put that way, but that is the end result.
It describes our fascination with skulls. It's why we like to wear black. And yet, you could ask 100 people "What happened at the Council of Trent?" and I'm willing to bet that you would not get a single correct reply. Wadr, I don't think you could answer correctly. The answer has irrevocably changed your life forever; and the knowledge has been intentionally obscured from you.
Christ died for our sins, which every human will inevitably commit, due to Adam's sin nature; but this has been twisted into a dark, indefinable 'Doctrine' meant only to enslave. Peace to you.

Peace to you as well
I'm not getting everything you are saying but I will take the blame for that. Since you seem to be a little more perceptive than I am let me try this approach.
Sin is an ugly thing anyway you look at it until viewed as part of the overall plan that includes the future for all of mankind and not just a few individuals. (As in Jesus is the saviour of the world and especially of those who believe;
1 Timothy 4:10)
Because God is a just and balanced God, everything has an opposite therefore we have the knowledge of both good and evil. Because the law of polarity is a universal law meaning that opposites within a given atmosphere must attract each other. Consequently and by a "universal law" Satan had to appear in the garden as well as he had to try to tempt Jesus. In other words the appearance of evil is a given the same as darkness follows after light. Quite obviously God being the author of all universal law knew this before the beginning
To make a long story short, (for now) because evil was successful in deceiving Eve who Adam chose to follow over the commandment of God, evil took on sin that brought on a condemnation of death to the one flesh that Adam and Eve became. Amen? i think so!
Because sin was condemned to death all evil is going to die here on earth because this is where it has been sentenced to death thus creating a place where father and son can abide together where evil will never appear again because it has already died the sentence it was given here.
God was not caught by surprise when Adam sinned, and for that matter Adam's sin was part of the plan that would result in evil being sentenced to death. In my opinion once we understand this we can go about seeing how God's ultimate plan for man had to be kept hidden throughout the ages. However when fully understood by those who will be first to overcome sin, will be shown onto the world by the church who through knowledge and grace from above has already overcome sin.
