Hello everyone, it’s my first time posting here, and i love this place already.
The controversy or contest about God judging from the atheist point of view has been in deliberation for a very long while now, the major issue has been on the topic “Change” as part of the human evolution. Brother Eli buttressed on this discussion change as regards the bible definition of it. Following our text on Malachi 3:6 “For i am the lord, i change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed”. What is the change been referred to here?
Also in Exodus 3:13-14, God referred Himself as I AM THAT I AM. In other words He is God all by himself, no contention as regards his supremacy and no transmutation in God. To my understanding Bro Eli wants us to know that the atheists contesting the being of God is wrong, they are referred to as enemies of the Bible because they just want to pick out scriptures that best satisfy their curiosity and relate it to the physical world. God wasn’t wavering when He regarded Himself as the unchanging God,His attributes of justice and mercy comes to play in his conduct with man.
God is beyond our physical senses and as such cannot be equated to man and his knowledge, He is the creator and cannot be equaled to his creation.
The encyclopedia of monism even puts that “As man is, God once was, As God is, man will be. God and man cannot be put on same scale of equality, God is way beyond what we can ever think or imagine him to be. God does not mutate or change, He spoke to moses about his unchanging nature and moses best understood that.
The only place we can bring in God’s change is in the repentance of man, take for example, the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were condemned to destruction by God and they never thought it wise to gain the knowledge for change but the same case of destruction was applicable to Nineveh and they repented instantly. Here you have two case scenarios and God showed himself as the God of justice and mercy.
Love is ultimate with God and it’s because of his love that he pardons man and his numerous sins. For an atheist to argue about the change of God he must first study the scriptures with an understanding and not just for self gratification. To satisfy his hunger nature for hateful words against God. Gos doesn’t change and will never change from eternity to eternity.
