What is Immutability?
Immutability is defined as something that cannot change. To be mutable means to be capable of change. Humans, for example, are mutable beings. In Christian theology, many use the word immutability to discuss the unchanging nature of God. This is specifically referenced to the biblical passage from Exodus 3:14, where God tells Moses, “I am what am,” sometimes written as “I am that I am.” This passage has been interpreted as suggesting that God is a stable unchanging figure, representing immutability. According to some beliefs, it does not mean that God cannot appear in various incarnations, like Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, but these are unchanging qualities to God, and he is whatever he began as. Not all Christians believe in the immutability of God.
