That which is perfect doesn’t change, Quix.

THAT notion assumes that PERFECTION would not, did not, maybe could not have as HIS design . . . a component of PERFECT CHANGE.

I don't presume to put God in such a tiny box.

It appears that there's a . . . philosophical unwillingness . . . or some such . . . to imagine beyond 4 dimensions, so to speak--vis a vis change. I realize that these are very tricky philosophical issues. And, that we don't have more than a very limited, tiny, finite perspective from which to assume, infer, extrapolate.

A parent will likely tell a child--I will always be your Dad. That will never change. I will unchangeably be your Dad. Yet, many things about my relationship with you as Dad, will change.

There is the narrative--from at least one Heavenly visit--about babies who have died . . . and are in school, in Heaven.

Certainly GROWTH, EXPANSION, CREATIVITY, FLOWERING . . . all such involve change. GLORIOUS CHANGE. There's nothing in Scripture which describes a dead, changeless state as an aspect or encompasing state of PERFECTION.

Yet, God's NATURE DOES NOT, WILL NOT CHANGE. GOD'S QUALITY of being PERFECT IN ALL HE IS AND ALL HE DOES will not change.

That which does not change . . . essentially . . . is considered dead.

GOD is the OPPOSITE, of that. God is VASTLY BEYOND TOO EXPANSIVE AND LARGE for all eternity to be about every creature in Creation sitting in the Lotus position endlessly contemplating God's navel with the same endless loop of the same redundant thoughts--regardless of how many eons the loop would take to recycle.
