    Strengthening families through biblical principles.

    Focus on the Family addresses the use of biblical principles in parenting and marriage to strengthen the family.

Even if god isn't entirely anger it's still a part of him that changes. Because if u remove a part from something, u r changing that something by removing that part. If u remove anger from god, u r changing god
What makes you think God isn't able to be angry again?

if He is able then nothing has changed.
 
The bible says bits of anger were removed from god. If u remove bits of something from someone isn't that changing that person? The bible says if u remove bits of something from someone that's changing them.
What verses are those, where it says bits of anger were removed from God?.

Another question is who did the removing if your bible claim is true?
 
The bible says god doesn't change. When god was angry at humans ,,,,
The bible does not describe God as being angry , but rather sorrowful:

Unchecked Copy Box
Gen 6:6
"And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."


The terminology describes the grief a father would have after learning that his son had committed murder.

If you had a son that committed murder would you want him to be punished according to the law ?

Was any bits of sorrow removed from god? If yes, didn't that change his character?
 
The nature of God is to always have sorrow at times.
That has never changed.
Did you know that God grieves over ever person lost to a hopeless eternity ?
This happens everyday .
There r something called "levels". I suggest u read about them. Especially since they pertain to gods sorrow. The level of sorrow of god varied throughout the bible, didn't it? A variance in a level = a change in quantity.

Please cite any bible passage you have verifying your claim of God's level of sorrow varying ?
Then we can discuss it on that basis .
Thank You.
 
Gen 6:6 it grieved his heart.

Some time after gen 6:6 his grieving heart became less sorrowful. Isn't that a change in level of sorrow?
I know the point you are struggling to make here, and from the perspective of someone who really does not understand what is meant by Jesus Christ the same "yesterday , today , and forever" there are really better verses for you to use from a misapplied , temporal perspective.
Take for instance the passage where Moses was able to convince God not to do what He said He would do ?
From a perspective lacking in Spiritual discernment this would be an ideal passage to show that God does change.
The meaning of His unchanging nature however is Spiritual.
In that His paramount & never changing purpose in everything else He does is for the victory of the human soul.
It is behind everything else.
And in that vein you would have to do more than scratch the surface Spiritually in Moses's changing God's mind and answer the question :

" Did Moses's convincing God to change His mind ultimately further God's paramount Spiritual purpose of Victory for the human soul" ?

The basis to accomplish God's goal has never changed from what was spoken by God in the garden:
Gen 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

His first reaction was anger, but his second reaction was happiness. That is a change in his reaction. God is his own reactions. So he changed which reaction he was. That's god changing.

So in your opinion God is incapable of being pleased, of being cross simple because that is change and you have ruled that God being changeless cannot change.

That is a very simple understanding of what change means and it reduces God to an impersonal, highly intelligent being incapable of experiencing emotions for emotions, in your terminology, means change.

Change is when something stops occuring. People change when something that they r doing stops occuring.
In the bible, something that god is doing stops occuring.
By that logic, god changes when something he is doing stops occuring.

Your logic is seriously flawed. People start and stop doing things all the time, just as God started and stopped creating. People also express different emotions at different times, just as God does.

But in no way whatsoever do those things mean the nature of people or the nature of God change. It is fallacious to conclude that changes in actions or expression of emotions means that the essential nature of God changes or has changed. Everything God does and says is an expression of his unchanging nature.

To be fair, all your arguments are completely irrelevant without scripture to support, and honestly it almost reads troll like.

I don't see once where you capitalize God, maybe i overlooked that, but would you consider yourself Christian?

Where in scripture does it say God changes?

Truth_is_powerful729292 told me in another thread he/she is not a Christian.​
