>>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.

My statement was:

3) God ordained it to happen

Would you agree with the rewording and expanded version of this?
