Can God Change His Mind?
ย ย ย ย Are you a student of Theology? Do you admire the attributes of God in Christ? Suffice it to say, if indeed God can change his mind, then this ability within the Godhead should be incorporated within the grand scheme of logical consistency in Systematic Theology. Amazingly, most Calvinists deny that God can change his mind at all, even though this very phenomenon appears in Scripture many times.

Seeing that all these men are TRUE Prophets, the popular interpretation of Deuteronomy 18:21-22 needs to be reevaluated. However, this should not be done to excuse the hoards of false prophets among "Charismatic Christianity" today! Nevertheless, my fellow Continuationists need to make their voices heard to create some push-back against the proud and haughty Cessationist Calvinists who claim the moral high-ground on the subject and rashly anathematize people while oversimplifying the issue. Furthermore, I would urge the Neo-Calvinists of today to incorporate the reality of divine repentance into their logically consistent belief system.
