SPECIAL TOPIC: GOD CHANGES HIS MIND

On the subject of God changing His mind, let me take a moment to clarify.

1. There are biblical texts that emphatically state God's character and purposes do not change.
   1. Gen. 6:6-7 (see full note there)
   2. Num. 23:19
   3. 1 Sam. 15:29
   4. Isa. 31:2
   5. Mal. 3:6 (see full note there)
   6. James 1:17
2. There are biblical texts that clearly affirm that repentance and prayer affect God and His actions.
   1. Exod. 32:12
   2. Ps. 106:45
   3. Jer. 18:8; 26:3,13,19
   4. Amos 7:3,6
   5. Jonah 3:9,10; 4:2

SPECIAL TOPIC: REPENTANCE (OT)

SPECIAL TOPIC: INTERCESSORY PRAYER

This is a good place to assert the often paradoxical nature of Eastern thought.
