By “ordain” I mean “that which is set into God’s plan”. Many times, our sin DOES fit into God’s plan so it is ordained.


Many times? Either God foreordains everything or He does not.

That's a fair point. I'm just not absolutely certain on the scope of God's plan. For example, I don't know if it is part of God's plan that I put on my left shoe first this morning. It very well might have been, but I am unsure. I think there are verses that lean toward this, so I would never argue against it. So, what I AM sure of is that God ordains everything that is a part of His plan.
