In this episode of E4:12 Catalyst, we address a big Bible question: If God never changes, what do we do with verses that say He “relented” or “regretted” something?Passages like Genesis 6:6, Exodus 32:14, and Jonah 3:10 can sound like God changes His mind. But do they contradict the truth of His immutability? The answer will deepen your trust in His Word and His character.We’ll explore:The clear teaching of Scripture – Numbers 23:19 and 1 Samuel 15:29 affirm that God does not change His mind like humans do.How to interpret “change” passages – Understanding that God’s nature is unchanging, but His relational responses are consistent with His character.Why Nineveh’s repentance matters – God’s mercy was not a change in character, but the consistent outworking of His justice and compassion.Jeremiah 18:7–10 – God explains how His responses depend on our response to Him, without any change in His nature.The ultimate example in the cross – Where God’s unchanging justice and mercy meet perfectly in Christ.If you’ve ever wondered whether God’s promises are secure, whether He might one day “change His mind” about you, or how to read difficult Old Testament passages in light of His unchanging nature, this episode will bring clarity, comfort, and confidence in His faithfulness.Key Scriptures: Genesis 6:6 • Exodus 32:14 • Jonah 3:10 • Numbers 23:19 • 1 Samuel 15:29 • Jeremiah 18:7–10Keywords: Does God change His mind, God never changes, immutability of God, unchanging God, Bible interpretation, Old Testament difficult passages, God’s character, God’s promises, God’s mercy, God’s justice, E4:12 Catalyst
