Then how are you using the term "change" when scripture says GOD does not change?
We don't tell our children fairy tales so that they will know that monsters exist.
They already know monsters exist.
We tell our children fairy tales so that they will know that monsters can be killed. -
Please quote those scriptures that say that.Originally posted by Tambora View PostAll of my ancestors are human.Originally posted by SqueakyOriginally posted by God's TruthCol 2:9 (AKJV/PCE)(2:9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Originally posted by Right Divider View PostThe "therefore" means because or on account of.
Because GOD does not change.
On account of GOD does not change.
GOD's character (His innate being) won't change, and therefore His oaths can always be counted on.
So I'm not seeing the problem with what BR believes ---- that GOD does not change.
Ya'll seem to be a little overcritical of him.
