Does God want us to sin?
Somewhere between Deism and Calvinism is a balance.
God is neither wholly disinterested and uninvolved, nor is He utterly involved.
Speaking about the Creeds that His Church would carry to the world, yes I think He had some involvement in this. Whether one particular man chooses this or that may not hold such a great importance, but the question of the guidance of His Church is of great importance.
One might as well say, from my perspective, that if Goliath had killed young David, the entire history of the Hebrew would be different.
