Malachi 3:

6a For I the Lord do not change.
The Immutability of God is a divine attribute that God is unchanging in his character. However, the way that he deals with people does change, Joel 2:

28 And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
God does not change, i.e., God is immutable. This is an attribute of God Himself. God is perfect. His character does not go through a developmental process.

On the other hand, God's dealing with people changes. That's why there is a difference between the OT and the NT. History changes and develops.

These two are different concepts.

God does change his mind, but he tells us he will change his mind and why, so even in this respect, he never changes.

Do you distinguish between the transcendent God and the anthropomorphic version of God?
