Does change of intention constitute change in God? There is at least change of intention in some of the OT texts. That is definitely helpful in my preparation. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712530471749964930.post-32885590159448350952010-01-21T07:38:14.959-08:002010-01-21T07:38:14.959-08:00I have looked at this question often and keep goin...I have looked at this question often and keep going back and forth. Dogma (some from interpretation of Scripture) says that God does not change, yet the passages in Genesis 18:16-33 would suggest there is a change there. Prayer intercessions are asking God to change. Now it could be a semantics game where one says that God does not change, but can change his mind, therefore it is not truly change of God, but just of thought and intention.<br /><br />Definitely though, for me, God does not change from the Old Testament to the New Testament, as I have often heard. Man's image of God has changed from the Old to the New, but not God in that instance.<br /><br />I don't know if this helps, but that is my thought process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
