Re: Can God learn?
I don't think the question is about can God learn? But can man?
People view religious documents which are thousands of years old, through a lens of their current culture. How their particular religion, cult, or denomination views their current culture. Also man is locked into who he follows as their authority, parents, employer, religious leader, mentor, etc. All these things prevent man from assessing new information properly, with objectiveness. Another factor is fear, fear of what new information may cause him. In the way of loss. Man has a tendency for safety. Taking the easy path, following the popular group. Or adhering to the most favored ideology within their culture or group. Not making waves by standing out, because we all know what happens to the nail that sticks out. So, can man learn?
