I’m skeptical that we have much of a clue what

an eternal God Almighty means by

NEVER CHANGING, NO SHADOW OF TURNING.

I do believe it means at a minimum that

HE IS DEPENDABLE; HIS VALUES AND WAYS DON’T CHANGE; HIS CHARACTER AND NATURE DO NOT CHANGE.

Beyond that, I think I’d be fantasizing.

Aquinas not greatly withstanding.

Dear brother,If God who is perfection changes in any way it would be a mistake from the first Cause-which comes from God,thus, God would have imperfection of the first cause -which inperfection cannot come from a perfect God

It's nice to have a civil conservation with you once in awhile

I wish you could spend more time with Aquinas, you might find you enjoyed him. Some have claimed that all this stuff was really intended as outlines for disputants in the universities.

But really, I think he does very well.

But do remember what I said about fathers and doors. I think one thing we 'know' about God is that He doesn't even do 'one' the way we think of one. So it's a safe bet that He doesn't do 'changeless' the way we think of changeless.
