Subject: Seems to change in stories? |
Bible Note: Hi Iktoose. Thanks for the response. I think we're agreeing here --- that God did change direction in response to Moses' plea. The character of God is constant. I think sometimes we answer questions quickly (like showing one text where it says God does not change) without delving into the question more deeply. If Rusty goes to his teacher with one verse, that will be much less convincing than if Rusty has thought about the passages that are more confusing. I've enjoyed the range of answers. Maybe I like the "childish" elements of how God tells his story --- I believe in living within the STORY of it, from Genesis to Apocalypse. So I try to hold that complexity in my head. Peace. JRM |
