One of the listed attributes of god is immutability.
"Immutability means God cannot change. James 1:17 refers to the "Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows" (NIV). Herman Bavinck notes that although the Bible talks about God repenting, changing his purpose, and becoming angry, "Scripture testifies that in all these various relations and experiences God remains ever the same."[12]Millard Erickson calls this attribute God's constancy, arguing that "some interpretations of the doctrine of divine constancy, expressed as immutability, have actually drawn heavily upon the Greek idea of immobility and sterility."
The problem here is that it specifically states that god cannot change. This conflicts directly with the idea that god is omnipotent (meaning that nothing is beyond his capability).
He is either omnipotent or immutable. Which is it?
