But the Bible also clearly teaches that just because such actions are the will of God, this does not excuse the wicked intentions, e.g. Romans 9:19-24:

So it is possible for a man to resist the will of God? I thought God was all powerful.

Just because you have power doesn't mean you'll use it. Free will and all that.

Does the "will of God" mean the same things as "the hopes of God?"

Free will is such a funny idea! So God has perfect control of all matter and energy in the universe, but somehow, in the midst of all that, the human being has a "will" (like a spirt or something?) that is "free" from everything around it. Then God kicks back and watches to see what the free wills do. He hopes for certain things. Is that like a form of gambling?
