As I've said above, GOD'S NATURE IS UNCHANGEABLE. His NATURE and what HE DOES are NOT IDENTICAL constructs, sets, realities.
Is God not Justice? Is God not Truth? Is God not all that is Divine? Is God not Love? Can any of these "change?"
GOD'S NATURE IS UNCHANGEABLE. His NATURE and what HE DOES are NOT IDENTICAL constructs, sets, realities.
So what does God change into? What does Justice morph into? What does Divinity become? And Love?
GOD'S NATURE does not change. Therefore, nonsensical questions about HIs Nature are . . . welllllll, rather NONsensical.
It is shackeling God with anthropomorphic terms that places Him into a human-sized box. The Age of reason did that very well, when it humanized God and deified man. Western legacy.
It is, inmho, OUTRAGEOUSLY and insultingl of God to characterize His UNCHANGEABLENESS
God will NOT fit in such a tiny anthromorphized box--regarding His changless NATURE; regarding His changless DYNAMIC Nature nor any other aspect of His 'BEING.'
Which, to me, includes that GOD WILL FOREVER BE CREATIVE as that is part of His UNCHANGEABLE NATURE.
Indeed, it seems likely that He has created us to be forever creative, as well--made in His image . . . etc.
Of course not. What He does is create. That's not the same as change. He doesn't change His plan. He doesn't change His mind (although the Bible contradicts on that one aspect precisely because of anthropomorphic concepts used). What God makes God doesn't change.
” GOD’S NATURE IS UNCHANGEABLE. His NATURE and what HE DOES are NOT IDENTICAL constructs, sets, realities.”
That’s good, Q, very patristic; divine essence (ousia) vs. uncreated divine energies. The latter we can experience and share in, the former absolutely not.
