I do not believe that anything can happen that is not intended by God.

I do not believe that anything can happen that is not intended by God. If I decide to rape, torture and murder somebody today, on the spur of the moment, does that mean that God wants me to do it? I doubt that the claim that "God made me do it" will carry much weight either with the judge here in the courtroom or with the Judge in Heaven.

Sin happens. Does God intend for sin to happen?
Isn't sin, by definition, something contrary to the Divine will? Isn't it therefore a contradiction for God to intend sin? Doesn't believing that God intends sin make the concept of "sin" meaningless?
