Listen "Does God Change His Mind? | Mailbag"
Episode Synopsis
Some people point to the story in Exodus where Moses ‘convinces’ God to withhold from smiting the Israelites as proof that God changes His mind. But is that the whole story?A listener submitted this question to the podcast: “I was talking today with a coworker and he brought up the passage when God says he’s going to destroy the Israelites and Moses essentially talks him down (Exodus 32:9-14). I know the Bible says God does not change his mind. So how would you explain this/reconcile what seems to be a contradiction?”In this episode, Scott, Chris, and Bree talk through:Other passages where God seemingly changes His mindWhat these passages meanThe use of anthropomorphic language in the BibleWhat we learn about God’s characterWe hope this episode helps you think critically about this popular Bible interpretation!Ask a Mailbag QuestionFollow Us on InstagramVisit Our Website
