Definition: The word "alterability" is a biblical term used in the New Testament to describe God's nature or character as revealed through His actions, speech, and wisdom. In the Old Testament, it refers to the divine nature of God, which means He was without sin, perfect, and wise beyond comparison. The Bible defines this divine nature through attributes like omnipotence (the power to do anything), omniscience (to know all things), omnipresence (to be everywhere with us) and dominion (over both nature and man). In the New Testament, God's alterability is described as a key aspect of His character. He can change into any form or manner for whatever purpose is right in His sight, without being limited by human understanding. This implies that He can act at any time with complete freedom and no restraint. The concept of "alterability" is foundational to the Christian understanding of God's nature as a divine being who cannot be fully understood by man’s finite intellect alone, but can only be fully known through His Son Jesus Christ, who became human.
