In this special theology discussion, Reasoning Through the Bible steps away from the normal verse-by-verse format to address an important question: Does God change His mind, emotions, or knowledge based on what people do?

This session looks at passages where Scripture says Israel provoked the Lord to anger, God tested people, God regretted making man, and God relented. How should these passages be understood alongside other Scriptures that say God does not change, does not grow weary, does not learn, and is not like man?

The discussion explains key theological terms such as immutability, impassibility, omniscience, and anthropomorphism. It also addresses open theism, word of faith teaching, prayer, God’s emotions, and why biblical language sometimes describes God in human terms so people can understand His actions.

Topics in this episode include:

• Does God change His mind?
• God’s immutability
• God’s impassibility
• God’s emotions
• anthropomorphic language in Scripture
• omniscience and God’s knowledge
• open theism
• prayer and God’s will
• does God learn?
• can we make God more angry?
• does God regret?
• biblical theology and systematic theology
