I asked you first.

And I answered you with a question. Did not God ordain a sin that His wrath might be assuaged? Or do you believe that God only hoped that Jesus would shed His blood?

This is the question. Did God ordain that Joseph be sold into slavery ? Did God ordain the lies and deceit of Jacob?

God does not have to actively push men into sin, all He need do is remove His restraining hand and man will choose to act according to his nature.
