That is not the whole story. God while not actually tempting anyone, can and does facilitate temptation and sin.
Read over the parts of the Bible which tells the stories of Moses and Pharaoh, and of Job. Read the parts which tell of how God helps those that are 'His' to resist sin.
God facilitates, sometimes in a positive way and sometimes negative.

Sin created itself?

Meaning Satan has power to create?

With one last post, please explain, because I really don't see how you can explain away God's involvement in this matter.
You don't like it because it doesn't fit with your play-doh view of God and evil. I notice with some interest that you have not responded to FMF's requests of you 😉

Your posts cannot explain, or you would have. I asked you to explain now.
