In the other, God is using evil as an occasion for good as Jesus instructed us all to do following God's example.

Allow me to explain:
God caused/inspired a mistake - this is the Calvinist perspective
God used a mistake or "allowed it to happen" - this is the Arminian perspective
These are two different perspectives about God's sovereignty. How do you see it? You might not see the two different perspectives if you are already decided on a position.
