I’m going to share my 3 categories for going through the Biblical text. This is against the common view and maintains divine impassibility.
Dr. R.C. Sproul said
“Sovereign decretive will, the will by which God brings to pass whatsoever He decrees. This is hidden to us until it happens.”
This is where we agree, the other two are ambiguous.
God’s precepts- are the commands given to men to live by. We can categorize these differently from other biblical concepts. This is my replacement for the prescriptive will or what we refer to as the revealed will.
Anthropomorphic and anthropopathic language – this is where God explains himself in human terms in order to relate to human beings. This could be either by stating he has humans parts(such as hands, feet, or legs) or as if he has human emotions.
This is my replacement for the “will of disposition” because the language is ambiguous.
