Like I said. You need to re-evaluate what is meant by “made”. God did not “make” evil. God did not “make” demons. God did not “make” man sinful. I would suggest you run your “theory” by a competent Calvinist pastor before you continue to “preach” your theory.

I would suggest you gain a better understanding of what is "evil".

Evil, in its most general context, is taken as the opposite of that which is ascribed as being good. - Wikipedia on Evil

Evil is the loss of God's goodness. And, yes, God did make us knowing that we would lose our goodness. God did not create (make) evil. But He certainly made us just as He made the demons. In both cases He knew we (and they) would lose our goodness. To say anything else is to say God didn't know. I personally won't go down that road.

All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:3)

That is so inclusive that John states it both ways, in the positive and negative. All things were made through Him. There is nothing that was made without Him. It's very clear that everything is made by God for His divine purpose and plan.

Before we get into one of these fanatical, hand-wringing "God is not the author of evil" debate for which we both would agree, I would suggest reading this short article about Augustine on Evil . The writer is a very competent pastor.
