A God Who Listens and Changes: Rethinking Immutability and Impassibility - Exodus 34:1 and 34:28

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore the nature of God through the story of Moses receiving the law on Mount Sinai, highlighting God's willingness to listen, change, and negotiate rather than rule as a dictator. As an affirming Christian and PCUSA ministry leader, I delve into how this narrative illustrates inclusive Christianity and challenges traditional views of God's immutability and impassibility. We journey through detailed Bible interpretation to understand God's relationship with humanity, emphasizing that faith in the modern Christian context involves partnership and dialogue with God. Discover how these ancient stories inform contemporary spirituality and the embodiment of God in Jesus Christ during the Transfiguration. This discussion aims to deepen understanding of an open, affirming faith embracing the messiness and complexity of scripture and life.Previous episodes: Calvinism vs. Reality: Determinism and Probablity, S1E17, Jan 18, 2025Theology of Nonsense: Questioning Systematic Theology and Calvinism, S1E73, Nov 29, 2025Exploring Free Will and Complexity: Hope for a Modern Faith, S2E7, Feb 14, 2026
