Shouldn't God be able to take away sins?

Tex, what you are in fact arguing is that SSA is a lot like Cerebral Palsy, it is (most often) an involuntary condition not easily removed. Which goes entirely counter to the pamphlet. The pamphlet says God can take it away in a majority of cases.

I don't think anyone believes that now.
I'm drawing no such analogy. I'm simply saying everyone has trials and temptations and weakness that belong to this mortal existence. We could come up with a dozen examples, no one of which will be perfectly analogous.

The point is, God's love is not defined by how willing he is to remove things from us that clearly are a part of being mortal.
