Does God Change His Mind? — Doctrine Discussion

from Reasoning Through the Bible · host Glenn and Steve

In this special theology discussion, Reasoning Through the Bible steps away from the normal verse-by-verse format to address an important question: Does God change His mind, emotions, or knowledge based on what people do?This session looks at passages where Scripture says Israel provoked the Lord to anger, God tested people, God regretted making man, and God relented. How should these passages be understood alongside other Scriptures that say God does not change, does not grow weary, does not learn, and is not like man?The discussion explains key theological terms such as immutability, impassibility, omniscience, and anthropomorphism. It also addresses open theism, word of faith teaching, prayer, God’s emotions, and why biblical language sometimes describes God in human terms so people can understand His actions.Topics in this episode include: Does God change His mind?  God’s immutability  God’s impassibility  God’s emotions  anthropomorphic language in Scripture  omniscience and God’s knowledge  open theism  prayer and God’s will  does God learn?  can we make God more angry?  does God regret?  biblical theology and systematic theology Reasoning Through the Bible is a verse-by-verse Bible teaching ministry committed to careful exposition, biblical context, and faithful application. Questions from this session:Does God have human emotions? Can humans change God’s emotions? Can God change His mind? Was Christian theology built upon Greek philosophy? Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
