No. God's decree and God's prescriptive will are never opposed. Because God has a good reason for the evil that He decrees, such as the crucifixion of Jesus, which was predestined from eternity, as the verse I posted showed.
Gnosticism, or the dualism that you refer to in your post, is a feature of all religions that deny the sovereignty of God. In these religions there is a dualism between a limited God who is not sovereign, and the will of evil which is able to frustrate God's will.
That is true dualism, and you are the one guilty of that. Christianity is not dualistic. There is one sovereign will only... God's will.
