CAN GOD CHANGE HIS MIND ?

[SINNERSAVED]

OKAY coming from another topic ,this came up , can God change His mind , if he wanted too,

and would He correct something that He believed was not going to work out ?

now I am not changing God ,and not saying anything other then we know God, to be faithful and true to all that He tells us , and that the bible is His word ,and we follow it,

knowing that Gods ways, are not our ways ,and He created us, so He knows more then we can ever know,  and that we depend on Him to provide all our needs,

for His word is truth and no one or anything can stand in the way, of what Gods will is, now this is what we want to talk about, our God, is awesome in power, almighty,

 and His glory no one can imagine, anything he has in store for us, He created all that is , and He holds everything in the palm of His hands,

so can God change is mind ? other then what he already promised, for we know He is faithful and just to follow through with what He says,

and would God correct something if need correcting, or is He  above any correction needed at all, ?.

I personally, know that God is able to do all things , our lives and spirits are His ,and if He decided to change any plans other then ,what is already promise, He can, for He is God,

and we are sinners saved by grace, and God will always be the one ,and only true God of worship , that we follow, for He is the same yesterday , today and tomorrow,

 this is my opinion,

I am hope I placed this topic in a correct format, with out sounding skeptical, I love God and jesus son of God is our savior. thank you

God does not change His mind but acts consistently with His Word in response with our actions.

God doesn't do anything that doesn't work.   God is sovereign and is in control.  God is all-knowing, which means that God knows before he does something what the end result would be.   God doesn't change his mind because God doesn't do things that end up being erroneous and in need of change.   

God never needs correcting because God doesn't commit errors of any kind.   If God does something and then says, "oops, I guess I was wrong about that and I need to do something different, He cannot be the object of our faith.

Didn't he change his mind about destroying Nineveh when they repented after Jonah preached?

I think He relented, or did not follow through with what " would have been " had they not repented, but I will re-read this as that is a great question that I am not certain of .

No.  Not in the sense that we change our minds.   Notice that God said he was going to destroy Nineveh if they didn't repent.   They repented and God kept his promise.   

God didn't say, "I am going to destroy Nineveh;  no, wait, I changed my mind; I am not going to destroy Nineveh."      God's destruction of Nineveh was not a certainty or determined event.   Had it been a hard determined event, set in stone, you could say that God changed his mind.   God gave Nineveh 40 days to repent once they heard from Jonah and so they stayed God's hand by repenting.   But God didn't actually change his mind.

An example of what it would have looked like if God had changed his mind about Nineveh, would have been if they had repented and God said,   "Sorry, I changed my mind.  Even though you repented, I am going to destroy you anyway."

In Jonah 3:10 it says 10When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

Yes, but that doesn't mean he changed his mind.   God's destruction of Nineveh was conditional.   God had not determined that Nineveh was going to be destroyed.  He was giving them a chance, and if they repented (and he knew they would), He would not send the destruction that they were being warned about.

Relenting in a conditional situation isn't' changing your mind.   It's only changing your mind when you have set something in stone and then decide not to do it.   God didnt' change His mind;  He simply kept his promise not to destroy them if they repented.
