Subject: Does God ever change his mind? |
Bible Note: I have trouble accepting your interpretation that scripture contradicts itself. I think rather that it is hard for us to understand God's nature in simple terms. As a result, in some places scripture imparts one description that is revealed in one circumstance and in other places scripture imparts another description that is revealed in other circumstances. This does not necessarily imply God changes, but rather what He reveals about Himself is taylored to meet our needs and his nature embodies more than we can understand in one way at one time. |
