We are in the presence of God at birth the same as Adam was in the Garden.

Then when the carnal mind becomes conscious or aware, then the outer
shell begins to form between that Adam and that God, as the Eve of Life,
which is our flesh comes to be.

God concluded all in unbelief, which is sin. Thus, because we were judged in
sin, thus we all died, and the death it is referring to is we became existent in
a dimension or a realm where God is NOT. He is Life so the opposite of Him
is death.

SO the Life of God cannot shine on us directly as it once did and it begins to
come to us via the veil, via the reflection, just as the Sun shines on the
Moon to give a lesser light in the night. God reckons time from Evening till
morning and in between is the darkness of night. We are born as a "light in
the evening time" and from there we go off into darkness, into our human
shell till we have formed the Image of the Christ within.

Remember now God had to have something that was totally opposite of
Himself to place His Seed within, so it could get the contrast needed for its
own formation. The stone to sharpen the axe, the night to contrast the day,
hot and cold etc.

SO even when we say, God hath concluded us in unbelief, He had no choice,

for in one sense, what Adam and Eve had done was in their ignorance, and
in another sense He, God, was the one that made or allowed the Serpent to
deceive, and in another sense, We were in unbelief because we had not any
true knowledge to form a faith in any fashion, whether as to faith or
unbelief, as they are based on a knowing and we had no knowing YET. They
were in the presence of Light or Knowledge, but they had none they could
call their own. So they were already just a shell of life in that sense already.
God had to bring them to some form of knowledge and to some form of
accountability, and to do so would form within them a state of their own
conscious awareness of their own SELF and IDENTITY.

This knowledge He would allow them to partake of would become a Law in

their members that would create in them the needed contrast of good and of
evil. Good in that this knowledge would be of God and is good, but Evil in
the sense that they would not be able to perform this demanding knowledge
which was the Nature of God Himself. It would require them to be as God
but they would lack the needed ingredients or power to live that life. So you
can see that as soon as they would partake of a divine knowledge that it
would come with requirements to be a God to know those things and what
they would know would be intended for their good but would also show up
their lack of performance in that which it has required. So evil is manifested
by God's own Word as to the Law. Remember the Tree was good for food, all
that God made was good, He said so. He did not say the Tree of Knowledge
was evil but He knew if they partook of that Knowledge it would instantly
within their own selves manifest their own insufficiency and thus cast a
contrasting shadow of evil in them. It was His Plan to begin with. It is why
God has never laid the charge of Sin upon a single person ever. They lay it
upon themselves. Though God concluded all in unbelief He did not suffer
them to reap the judgments of that unbelief but took it upon Himself, saying
"a Body thou hast prepared for me".

SO God prepared for us a Lamb, a Body, a sacrifice, to take the punishments

for sin to shield our souls from being departed from His presence till we
could come to the Calvary or our own heart and lives and then be born
again.

He is so wise and His understanding and love is so amazing that words do

not do it justice.
I hope this helps you to grasp a little bit better understanding of God and His
thoughts and ways to us and how we are the way we are and what God's
loving intent was in all of this. God Bless You. Bro. Pat
