Dear Eliza, I hope you understand that if we think of God as "changing His mind" in the way humans do, we are imagining a man-made god that has nothing to do with the self-revealing God of Scripture! "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19) So be very careful about taking a pile of verses and trying to fit God into human like characteristics. That would place you under the condemnation of idolaters: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man" (Romans 1:22-23a). As time unfolds God is never taken by surprise, He never switches to a "plan B," He never sways from His eternal purpose, nothing impedes His intentions. (cf Isaiah 46:9-11) Instead, in the fullness of all that Scripture says about Him, see the passages where human-like language is used, for the purpose with which it was used: that we might understand the ineffable. See that He built into every event the process, the purpose, the outcome, the results for His glory (Psalm 33:11; Isaiah 14:24; Acts 2:23; Ephesians 1:11-12). In order to insure the soundness of doctrine and fully express those things confessed by all of true Christendom, we must qualify and explain our answers, lest we impose on or neglect all that God has said (Jeremiah 23:25-32; Matthew 4:4). (See also post #235398.) In Him, Doc |
