But life unfolds exactly as God wills. Permissive or determinative?

There is no such thing as God's "permissive" will. It is an illusion of man's ego.
Whatever God "permits" He has already ordained from before the foundation of the world.
Or else it would be different.
He's God.

Permissive or determinative?I don't buy that God has two wills.

Permissive or determinative?Nothing happens out side of the will of God. He knows how many hairs in your brush this morning CTD
God, unlike man, does not have a "permissive will" For His determination to permit something is an affirmative action that can NEVER be changed. His inaction ordains it, so it is determinative.
