"By definition, He who you describe as "god" can not be God. God is not one who changes, who was once one being and then another. "

God came to teach who He was and what He was about. Seems He missed your definition and could have saved Himself the trip. Of course it's more likely He Knew about it and just disregarded it on the grounds that it was ridiculous.

You think God changes and becomes a being he formerly was not. IOW, God adds another person to His nature.

Any predictions when this will end? I would think an infinite number of persons could be added to the Divine Nature, right?

BTW, God does not change anymore than Triangles change and add another side and yet still remain Triangles.

Jesus came for one reason. To save people from their sins. True, in order to be saved, you have to have at least a basic understanding of whom Christ is - but He could have told us all about Himself in the Word to a point. What happened when Jesus came, was he showed us the extent of His mercy and grace towards sinful humanity.

In His words, this is why He came:


Luke 19: 10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

John 3:17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

3:18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

3:19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
