A just and loving god wouldn't create our mind with the capacity to experience those and then condemn us for it.

This isn't the theology of all Christians and is actually one of the many divisions within the Church, but this is explained through the concept of original sin.

The idea is that Adam and Eve were in paradise but fell into sin after being tempted by Satan and were thrown out into the world. Since that time, this original sin is passed onto all people. That is why the wonderful gifts of god are always corrupted by man. For example, food is a wonderful thing and the experience of flavor is one of the things that makes life great. But the corruption of this is gluttony. Just look at the overweight people in this country for evidence!

Maybe that’s more than you wanted to know but that’s how many Christians explain the seemingly opposition of our natural instincts and God’s will.
