Is there such a thing as a perfect will and a permissive will when it comes to God?

Question

Or is "permissive will" an excuse for those who don't want to work at walking in line with God's "perfect will"?

Answer 1

I'd say an excuse. God doesn't change, if he doesn't change, then he's permissive will would never change also, making it a perfect will

Answer 2

Matthew 13

18 “Now listen to the explanation of the parable about the farmer planting seeds: 19 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts. 20 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. 21 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word. 22 The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced. 23 The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”

Great question Tabby

Answer 3

I'm sorry but those seem like nonsense or meaningless terms.

Answer 4

The will of the Blessed Virgin Mary was perfectly conformed to God's Will.  She was perfect and sinless from the first moment of her conception. Further, she failed in nothing God expected of her.  She now shines in glory forever as the Queen of Heaven, far above the cherubim and the highest of angels.  She is the splendor of our race and greater than all other creatures combined.

God bless!
