Immutability (3)
If God's purposes were constantly revisable, how could the faithful rely upon them?
Thomas Oden
The Rebirth of Orthodoxy, 95 We know well enough, that God does not love or hate as we do; because, we love and hate mutably, but He loves and hates from an eternal and immutable nature; and hence it is, that accidents and passions do not pertain unto Him.Bondage of the Will, Section 101
If God's essence could change, a being more powerful than God would have to change it. It is true that we sometimes read of God 'repenting'; however, this is anthropomorphic language, which depicts the infinite, eternal, and unchangeable God, who is spirit, in human terms.Knowing Christ (38)
