The God of the Bible is changeless. His attributes do not change. The Bible says.
I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed (Malachi 3:6).
The writer to the Hebrews declared.
Therefore the idea that God is somehow continuing to evolve in His nature or character is at odds with the teaching of Scripture. This, however, does not mean that God is not intimately concerned with the problems of humanity it merely means that He is unchangeable in His basic attributes. SummaryJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Process theology, or Panentheism, does not believe in the God who is revealed in Scripture. The god of Panentheism is constantly evolving - he does not remain the same in his attributes. This is contrary to the God of the Bible who never changes in His basic nature.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
