God is eternal, consistent and He is eternally Himself is usually the definition.
He is only eternally himself if he is absolutely static and does nothing whatsoever.
It is like saying god is by definition 2+2=5 and never wrong in his math.
Concocting a definition does not make the ill conceived ignoramus fantasy Less ill conceived, less revealing of the ignorance of the fantasist, or less of a fantasy.
That a definition like this can be claimed only shows how shallow the concept of god is, and how pathetically besotted the adherents to this fantasy have become.
"You are only eternally yourself if you are absolutely static and do nothing whatsoever." Doesn't that seem a little ridiculous? You are yourself always, whether you're inside or outside or cleaning a toilet. The fact you clean toilets for eternity doesn't make you any less you. In the case of this argument I am that I am.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
