Why would God design us so that sticking our hand in a flame hurts immediately?
When you touch something very hot, you automatically jerk away from it to prevent being harmed. Isn't that taking away your free will? Wouldn't it be more in keeping with his modus operandi to warn us against it, but allow us to continue touching fire, only to be terribly hurt later?
Conversely, why wouldn't God make sin as repellent, especially given the much greater--and eternal--damage it causes?

Why don't you ask GOD when you meet him. Who are we to GOD. He made us for his pleasure not our own.
