God is not the "author " of evil.

Evil is the design of man BUT not one thing eithor good or evil happens without God permission.. God being sovereign in this world designed man and knows his choices before he is ever born. He is in charge

Rn, I don't have time to go into it now....gotta run to Sunday School/Church. But I'm pretty sure that the Westminster Confession is worded so that God is one step removed from actually designing the acts of depravity.

I'm not saying that I'm a calvinist and that I buy your position, but I don't think you're doing justice to it in the way you're wording things. (And it could be that I'm dense and have no idea what I'm talking about. :^) )
