Subject: Is God subject to change? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! I'm sure that you already know the alternative! God gives man the ability to exercise free will. His relationship with man is not scripted out in advance, though God certainly know the end from the beginning. But, His relationship with man actually occurs in time, not eternity. So, when God announced to Nivevah that He was going to overthrow them, He meant it. But, Nivevah repented, so God altered His relationship to Nivevah based upon their actions in time. Now, I'm sure you will not find this convincing simply because you don't believe in human freedom. But, the advantage of this approach is that I don't have to take a statment of fact and say that God didn't really mean it. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
