By stating that God “ordained” someone to sin the would mean that God ordered that person to sin.

My statement was:

3) God ordained it to happen

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

3) God from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.

Although God knows whatsoever may or can come to pass upon all supposed conditions; yet has He not decreed anything because He foresaw it as future, or as that which would come to pass upon such conditions.

Nice cut and paste but “ordained” still means to cause or direct that it happens. How many times do I need to say that God does not cause, order, direct or make sin happen? Attempting to hide error in verbiage doesn’t change that fact. Asking if I believe that God caused or ordered sin to happen a hundred different ways is not going to change my answer.
