Yes, I think that can be inferred from the fact that He created all things. John 1:3; Col. 1:16. How does that relate to the topic, "God does not command evil?" Are you saying that creation was an evil command and not a good command?
Let's get one thing absolutely clear.... God is not the Author of evil! okay?

Having established that fact we can then move on to the subject at hand by asking a few salient questions:

1) Did God ordain the fall of Satan and those angels who joined with him in rebellion against Him?

2) Did God ordain the Fall of Adam and consequently all of mankind?

3) Did God ordain the crucifixion of Christ, including the acts of the actual men who physically nailed Him to the cross?

4) Does God ordain such things as rape, murder, child molestation, in fact all the wicked acts of men which happen to both believers and unbelievers?
