It is a nasty thought that God laid a trap for man to fall into. This idea is clearly rejected by the NT apostles. I quoted James, but you could just as easily have quoted John or Paul.

It is not God's will that any would perish. God does not tempt man with sin. In Him there is light and no darkness.

Saying that God could have foreseen this outcome, that He wasn't surprised by this outcome, is not the same thing as saying He willed this outcome.
