"There is no shadow of turning with thee! Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not, as thou hast been, thou forever shall be!"

I love the hymns!

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

God does not have shadow.....he lives in unapproachable light.

Perhaps, but it is also written:

1 Kings 8:12 Then spake Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

I would say, hidden from the eyes of those who do not see.

What do people see? Solomon said that and then people found the the Glory of God filled the Temple. What had once been in darkness was revealed.

In the flesh of ours, which He assumed and dwelt among us (John 1:14), darkened as we are (Matthew 4:16).

Perhaps you can expand on what you mean Giuliano........what was it that was in darkness?

DPMartin said:

whether God has a shadow or not could be argued, but the repentant can approach no problem. anyway, the debate section is somewhere else, isn't it?

All who are truly repentant, whose heart yearns for greater light.....who thirst for the water of life, can approach with confidence.

God is everywhere -- even in think darkness. When invited properly, the earthly Temple Solomon built was filled with the Glory and Light of God. Surely that also means that man, a dark creature, can be changed into a being of Light. The Light is there, all along, but not revealed yet. The light concealed in the darkness is changed into revealed light.

We could also think of man as a "shadow" of God. The outline is there. . . .
