Can God change what is already written ?

[streetsinger]

thats rubbish.if you read what jesus says he says nobody can change scripture,only the person the father sends.

your treading on thin ground.first you would have to know what God means,which is shown by satan could mean anything.i think satan is doing God a favour.unknowingly to him.

if you hold God to a promise,what if he wants to change that promise to grow you.?

who said God was set in stone.?his promises he keeps,but is it not better to just trust him.?

John 5:19 (ANIV)
Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

Cat, I respectfully ask you don't rubbish others opinions in that way please.

sorry lily.sorry guys.

lets say God promises to give you a apple a day.Gods reasoning could be to develop your teeth then give you coconut.
but if you hold him to his word without trusting him,you still be eating apples.

the best way to describe it is this,the old testament said not to work on the sabbath.they took that meaning to the extremes.and even accused jesus because he healed people on the sabbath.

jesus goes mad at the pharisees and tells them they are burdensome,and afflict the people.to take a written word ,first understand the spirit in which it is given.

jesus said to love.people can and do misunderstand what he means.

do not kill is a very Good law,if a parent was in hospital ,suffering and you had the decision to pull the plug or keep them suffering,this is where love overcomes the law,you would have to take the responsability.

hopefully we never encounter such a situation,but Love overrules law.

If God changes His word then He would have to admit God isn't all knowing, He isn't sovereign, He made a mistake and His plan needs to be changed:

"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"-Isaiah 46:10

"Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind."- 1 Samuel 15:29 NASB

"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" Numbers 23:19 NIV

did not abraham reason with our Lord.?did he change his mind.?

27And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:

28Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

29And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

30And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

31And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

32And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

His attitude is always the same towards sin. But His change is based on our repentance. If we repent, He changes because He always had the same attitude towards sin. It looks like He changes but it was based on us.

if God was stuck on his words,and had no room to manouvre,would he be a better God or a worse God.?
