If you claim that Calvinism teaches that God predestined/foreordained all sins, I will not argue. I disagree that God actually did that, but I have no reason to think you would admit to such a position unless you actually believed it.

I see two alternatives: 1)God had no idea a particular sin would occur, or 2)God had no choice but to allow a particular sin to occur. You can choose Open Theism or the God that isn't God.

God is absolutely sovereign, man is still fully accountable (Acts 2:22-23).

It's the Bible, CTD.
