This goes against the common notion that the Creator is timeless and unchanged. God today is the same is He was 10 million years ago, etc. |
His divine nature doesn't change, simply his abilities are limited for a time/reason.
An example from Christianity is Christ, when he took the form of a man, he was able to suffer pain, which is not something Holy God is normally understood to do. But he limited his divinity for a moment. It doesn't change the fact that he could've broken free from that form at any moment, but he chose not to do so, because he had salvation in mind. (Philippians 2:1-11 as an example of this)
The key word here is chose. He's God after all. If we can limit our abilities for a moment, for a reason (sometimes love), then with even greater reason so could he.

thoughts =/= knowledge. You may be able to stop thinking about something (but even that's a stretch), but it is not possible to consciously erase pieces of your knowledge. |
My thoughts activate my knowledge. Though I may know something, I can control my thoughts so as to remove that concern for another thought, at a specific moment.
I may know that my best friend cheated on me, but I can put the thought that reminds me of that aside so I can move on and continue to love them.
