Does God have two wills? I thought this must be necessary, because I don't know how else to explain that God could desire that we not murder but simultaneously allow a murder to occur. I thought the "two-wills" explanation was perfect, but then I seemed to infer from other writings on this forum that it was a dismissed notion, and an obvious one at that.

When people say that God has two wills, they are using the word, "will" in two different senses.
I wouldn't use the expression, "God has two wills", because this can cause people to misunderstand me. That sounds like God plans one thing and then plans something else that is contrary to that plan or it sounds like that God is double-minded. I prefer to say that God gives commandments and God ordains things.
