Is something that God states is his Will, to be interpreted as our command?
What do you think. Answer true or false and give you reasoning behind your answer. Scripture as well please.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)
I voted yes! God has only one will. <><
I believe so, things that are the will of God are nothing short of his desire, and to thwart that would be sin. One of my favorite verses against Calvinism is that "God is not willing that any should perish" and so anyone who does perish does so in direct violation of God's will. An example that immediately comes to mind is the verse that tells us it is God's will that we abstain from fornication; in other words, don't fornicate, I take that as a commandment.

I voted Yes. I'll explain my thinking later.
Excellent question, by the way!
