God can change his mind?
I am not a big theologian or anything of the sort. I’m just a fellow human trying to pursue Christ. lol so if you know more than me please be mindful of that in Your explanations. My question is : what does it mean for God to change his mind? How can he change his mind if He is all knowing?
The story I’m referring to is the one where God tells Moses that he will kill all Israelites for worshipping the golden calf instead of Him. But then Moses intervenes and reminds God of the covenant He mad with His people. AND GOD CHANGES HIS MIND. Did God forget about the convenant? I’m sure God is trying to teach me something I just need help getting where He needs me.
I’m also stuck on the word “intercede”, which in my own understanding means to advocate (please correct me if I’m wrong) why was Moses needed for that. In what world can a human change God’s mind… doesn’t that kind of insinuate that God isn’t all knowing and wise?
Guys reading the Bible is so annoying to me because I question absolutely everything but I also understand there are some things I’ll just never understand. I’ve been stuck on this chapter for years lol. But I’m stubborn and I need to get this.
Can someone explain or share their perspective and explain this to me like I’m 12 ?
