For this is unquestionable true - God knowingly established the causality that led to sins and evil. We can not give God an out here. Is there any answer that does not offend our "natural sensibilities". I believe the answer is unavoidably offensive because it leaves me nothing of my own. It breaks me completely. I am God's to do as God will.
The answer is simple: they are not sinful actions as God ordains them. God ordains the action as an action, and that for His own wise and holy purpose. Sin is relative to law; the action is deemed sinful only as it comes from the will and deed of a creature under law.
