This syllogism reflects God's immutability from Plato's view. God is perfect. The perfect does not change. God does not change. Plato wrote in "A dialogue between Socrates and Adeimantus" in The Republic :
"First we will look at it from Plato’s viewpoint:"
"The perfect does not change.God is perfect.God does not change."
Not in His righteousness no.
However,Perhaps it's because of his perfection he changes in some ways. :think:
God is love. This is perfection and the best possible state and love will change it's mind;...It will grieve...hate..etc, as we see through out the scriptures..
He changes his mind. He changes from one emotion to the next..
That's not the evidence against perfection, but the definition of it.
It's just not Plato's defininition :chuckle:
