God has no Beginning and no end !
Transformation and change only applies to the Attributes of the Creation
And not the Creator !
it is not common sense For God to Transform !
God never begun ! so how can you say he can transform since he is
Eternal !
Does it Apply to God to Transform into any image ?

God will never change. He is the rock, meaning something that is steadfast and faithful. And by the way, who said that God DOES transform? And what do you mean by begun. God is not an event or era, or do you mean that about his age. I do agree on your view that God is eternal.

I thought this was a great point you made, Iceman! , and an excellent question!
It's a common idea that the qualities we see around us in matter, including varieties and change, must be absent in the Kingdom of God. Why?
Impersonalist philosophers really swerve off on this point, what to speak of those who use their 'common' sense. Exactly why should there be less of anything nearer to the source of everything? To think so is to think based on material experience only, a kind of Duhwinistic philosophical throwback, where God is supposed to be some kind of amoeba instead of the cause of all causes, creator and maintainer of EVERYthing.
One more intelligent understanding has it that God transforms Himself (as He likes) just to increase the love and devotion of His eternal loving associates (angels) there in His kingdom, and also transforms Himself (as He likes) & comes to this world for the purpose of encouraging all us poor cringing savages to heed & follow the highest commandment in the Bible - to love God (Him) with all our heart and soul, (& our neighbopurs as ourselves).
Perhaps our propensity to transform ourself (to try, try, try make ourselves more attractive, more strong, wiser, etc.)., is our (another...) imitation of His supreme glory and independence (what to speak of superiority;)??
