Yes, God will never do anything ungodlike ! That is not a limitation; but an exercise of I AM perfect unchanging infinite will.

hbart12 I should send you one of my great food inventions -- a lard-fried, sardines packed in oil and peanut butter sandwich ! Perfect for the South Pole Penguin Community ! Yummy !

There are at least 8-10 or more ways that God transcends "I AM: I AM AS I AM" Please list some.

God can not be just kinetic; because if I AM were to ever literally move, all Reality would be in pandemonium ! All Reality Gravity Presence Circuits center in I AM.

Another reason that God never moves is that HE (I AM GOD) has no outside and no beyond ! All subordinate things and beings may move in HIM ! And Coordinate Beings on Paradise? Can they move? Or do they transcend the need to move?

To keep this of interest to an average human religionist, let's reflect on the relationship of I AM GOD to humans and the universe in regard to His transcendence of Absolutism.

God's ontological and ethical immutability are distinct from his relational mutability. Although He exists outside of time and space and never actually changes, his interactions with his creation in time reveal different aspects of His character. If you want to learn more about what God has revealed to humanity about Himself I would suggest checking out Knowledge of the Holy by A W Tozer.

“HOW long, O Jehovah, must I cry for help, and you do not hear?” Those are the words of the Hebrew prophet Habakkuk, who lived in the seventh century B.C.E. But they do have a familiar ring, do they not? It is human nature to want to have the things that we dearly long for right away or as soon as possible. And this is especially true in our age of instant gratification.

God, however, is not indifferent to time. On the contrary, he is very time conscious. (Acts 1:7) Peter, therefore, goes on to say: “Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) Unlike humans, God does not feel pressured to do things as if time were running out for him. As the “King of eternity,” he has a marvelous overview and can determine when in the stream of time his actions will do the most good for all involved.—1 Timothy 1:17.

The god of the Hebrew Bible is not portrayed as a god that never changes. His purposes remain constant, but his reaction to events vary. The god of static Absolutism in the West is a development of philosophy and was welded, somewhat uncomfortably, with the god of the Hebrew Bible (and the Christian Father/Son/Holy Ghost).

In more modernist term, Absolutism becomes nearly equivalent with irrelevant or useless.

There is nothing in any place that exists that limits God and I believe there is nothing "static" about His absolute power and absolute love.

All the limits are on the side of a finite person like myself, never on God. The only actual limit God has is that He will NOT violate anyones free will. Oh, and also, God cannot lie! But even with these two "limits" God is infinitely powerful and wise and Good and loving! Jesus, His Son, is my savior and He shares God's attributes. "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father."

I don't know what things the Hebrews contrasted as opposites. I would think a stable personality would be most comforting. It is to me. I have a sense of always being the same although I grow, learn, change appearance and the like. Of course my values stay the same, fresh Artic fish.

The unchangeableness of God is that he is kinetic and not static.

Gods transends your philosophy, that's why he's God and you're not.
