Yes! God Changes His Mind

The popular modern claim in many Christian churches that "God never changes His mind," is false and does NOT agree with the Bible.

The Holy Scriptures are actually quite clear that God does indeed change His mind:

* God changed His mind and regretted that He had created mankind because of their evil. (Genesis 6:6)

* The Lord changed His mind and decided not to destroy the Israelites after Moses pleaded with God. (Exodus 32:12-14)

* God changed His mind and told the angel to stop killing people. (2 Samuel 24:16)

* God changed His mind and decided not to annihilate King Rehoboam. (2 Chronicles 12:12)

* God changed His mind and decided not to destroy the city of Nineveh after He told Jonah He would. (Jonah 3:10)

* God promised that He would change His mind in response to humans changing their minds. (Jeremiah 12:15; 18:7-10)

The only time God is not free to change His mind, is when He has made a vow, promise, or oath. He views those as unbreakable. (Hebrews 6:17-18)

1 Samuel 15:29 and Numbers 23:19 are declaring that God does not change His mind **like a human does** (in other words, God doesn't change His mind for no reason, or for fickle/sinful reasons-- God isn't wishy-washy).
