How many times is "God's Will" used?

In how many forms? This is what the Bible is all about:

Jas 4:15-16 Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

Psa_143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!

Mat_6:10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

If you don't obey God's Will - what do you call it?

It's not that you "obey" God's will. That's precisely the whole mess of "free will". I have decided to obey....

It that God changes your heart to follow His leading. "The Lord is my Shephard...He LEADS me into green pastures." Not following God's will is rebellion and is called sin.

[P-Marlowe]

Isn't it ironic that these people all rag on the idea of quoting "scholars" and how they rely solely on the bible, yet they fail to acknowledge or appreciate that every English Translation we have is the result of thousands upon thousands of hours of intense and dilligent work of ..... SCHOLARS.

These people who claim they follow the interpretations of no man, quote English Bibles which contain untold thousands of verses and words which were interpreted and then translated by the same men they claim they would never ever follow.

Unless these people have the actual original manuscripts and they are intimately familiar with ancient Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, it is laughable that they would claim that they don't rely upon the teachings of any man.

But do you think they will acknowledge their blatant hypocrisy?

I don't think so, but then I could be wrong.
