Ep.40 - The BOSS - Pt.4: Immutability - does God change?

from Theology for the Curious · host Pete Goulding

Click here to text us your thoughts and questions!The nineteenth-century Dutch Theologian Herman Bavinck wrote that the, “very distinction between Creator and creature hinges on the contrast between being and becoming”. Concluding that our reliance on God “depends on his immutability”; but what does it mean to have an unchanging God? Immutability is not the argument that God ‘will’ not change, but that He ‘cannot’ change! In this week's episode, Pete and the Curious team will take a deep dive into immutability. They will seek to address the conundrum of whether God can change, whether he changes himself, or is changed from without himself? Does God’s perfection defy the necessity of change, or is complimented by it? What of those texts that seem to suggest God can change? Where it seems he repents or opts for an alternative way of handling a situation? Join the team this week as they seek to answer these and other difficult questions…Recommended Reading:'None Greater' by Matthew Barrett'The Immutability of God' by Charles SpurgeonSend your questions or thoughts to: [email protected] us on Instagram @theologyforthecuriousFind us on TikTok: @theologyforthecurious
