How much influence does he have?

[arewethereyet]

I was going to make a new thread but it's the same sort of thing as this topic. 

What is God's will? Like, what is that? If something is God's will, what does that mean?

A person in another thread stated that something can be God's will without him demanding a certain outcome. What the hell does that mean, then? What does it mean if something is God's will yet he has no intention or predisposition for any particular outcome?

Is this like the trinity? Where God is both controlling something happening at the same time as he doesn't intend for it to happen the way that it does? The box is both a cube and an orb simultaneously.

To me the expression 'God's will' simply means that the person saying it has no idea why something happened. It's the ultimate dodge instead of an explanation.

Another version of 'God works in mysterious ways'. Theistic Bible babble.
