You are misrepresenting the position we state there.
No one has implied that God pre-ordained wickedness or sin. Quite the contrary, Lucifer's and Adam's sin did not take God by surprise, since God knew full well that both would rebel against Him, and in His knowledge of all things, determined to Redeem the Elect of humanity as an inheritance for the Son, as the supreme expression of the Love between the Father and Son, to be witnessed by man and angels alike.
Do you really think that wickedness can thwart (I love that word)God’s will? Or does God use man’s wickedness to his own purposes?
I truly believe that God has ALL of this planned out, that NOTHING surprises God, that, as he says, all things work together for good to those who love God. Even wickedness. Take Joseph for example. His wicked brothers sold him into slavery. Definately wickedness, but it worked according to God’s purposes, to save the nation of Israel. In other words, God allows wickedness in the world to work his purposes and to do his will.
