First of all, please address Post 850 before proceeding further. That is my challenge to anyone monitoring this thread.
As for "suppressing omniscience" - call it whatever you like. If today I know Hebrew, and then tomorrow, I no longer know it, and then the next day I begin learning it again, that's change. That's not immutability.
If you insist on calling it immutability, then at some point it becomes evident that you are using words such as "changeable" and "immutable" as synonyms - in essence a distinction without a difference.
To let you know, I believe in Partial Immutability. In certain ways, God does not change. God does not change in regards to His good character. God does not change in regards to His holiness. God does not change in regards to the nature of His being a spirit being. In other words, God is still spirit. God does not change in regards to Him being a Trinity. God does not change in regards to the conditional promises within His Word.
But there are other ways God can change. We see God appear to change in the fact that He brought about an Old Covenant, and then He later brought about a New Covenant. This suggests a change. For both covenants are different. God appears to change in the fact that the Word was made flesh. This never happened before in human history. It was a change. So I agree. God does and can make changes. But in other ways, God does not change.
