Subject: Is God subject to change? |
Bible Note: Tim John gave this quote (ran through my spell checker :-) ) "It is true that there is a group of texts... which speak of God as repenting. The reference in each case is to a reversal of God's treatment of a particular people, consequent on their reaction to that treatment. But there is no suggestion that this reaction was not foreseen, or that it took God by surprise and was not provided for in His eternal plan. No change in His eternal purpose is implied when He begins to deal with a person in a new way." I think you took exception to it, but I'm not clear as why. As I read it, it seems to imply God does react to what people do but that neither surprises God nor effects the overall plan He has in place. Is there something I'm missing? EdB |
