In Malachi 3:6 we are told that God does not CHANGE from generation to generation but in Exodus 32:14 we are told that God CHANGED His mind about punishing His people.

What you have here is a case of the power of intercessory prayer. God, being His omnipotent, omniscient self, certainly knew that Moses would please Israel’s case, as Moses does in the following verse:
Yahweh demonstrated this with Abraham when it came time to destory Sodom and Gamorra.But He wants to show us that we need to intercede on each other’s behalf, and God will often find this pleasing. It’s all going to be further revealed in Jesus’ words, “Love one another, as I have loved you”. If you love someone, you will pray for their well being.Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and how you swore to them by your own self, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky; and all this land that I promised, I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.’" So the LORD relented in the punishment he had threatened to inflict on his people.

Hi Sir,
In Malachi, God is talking about his fidelity to his promises from generation to generation. In Exodus, he shows that prayer can influence the outcome of things, but God has not changed, since he knows from all eternity whether we will pray or not.
We don’t need the Bible to tell us that God is unchangeable. It is something we can learn through philosophy. Having the fullness of being, being infinitely perfect, he is not perfectible, which means that he can’t “change His mind”, which would mean that he made a wrong decision to start with.
