HD-Where have I stated that God is the author of sin?

CB- “Thus God knew very well about Adam’s character, what would happen, and ordained it to happen.”

This doesn't make God an "author of sin". But you have my curiosity aroused since you're saying it does. Let's break this apart.

1) God knew about Adam's character

2) God knew what would happen

3) God ordained it to happen

Now which one of these three things is untrue and makes God an author of sin?

Ordained
1.
a. To invest with ministerial or priestly authority; confer holy orders on.
b. To authorize as a rabbi.
2. To order by virtue of superior authority; decree or enact.
3. To prearrange unalterably; predestine Synonyms – dictate

By stating that God “ordained” someone to sin the would mean that God ordered that person to sin. God does not “order”, “decree” or “authorize” sin.
