God is unchanging.

Hello Rabbi,
If God does not change as the popular claim suggests, then how can God change His will? For example, accept prayers? If there is no knowledge of choice, then know our actions, etc.

Ask the person who makes the accepted claim. As a rule, such metaphysical speculations do not inspire much confidence in me and I do not find much point in discussing them. Still, I will raise two points for thought: Some explain that there is no change in His will, but rather that prayer activates forces that were originally embedded in creation and ensure an appropriate Zionist response to every request. Beyond that, the question is whether granting the request is a change that should not be in God. Why?

I have a question that I myself don't really know. Whoever claims all the claims of there being no change in God. Does he say that his will cannot change either??
Anyway, assuming that there is no robot that receives external prayers, then prayer entails a change in his will.. And so any new knowledge about the world to whoever says that there is no knowledge in place of a person's choice

I didn't understand what a question that you don't know much about means. Not every question is like that? (If you know, there's no need to ask)
As for your question, I already wrote to you that you should direct it to the one who claims this, who will explain his words.

I explained that the answer to prayers is created as a result of the prayers. If you call it a change, then there is a change in it (unless you accept that there is a mechanism for answering prayers). The same goes for news about what people are doing. It's all true. So what?

It can be estimated that most of the believing people who died, begged for their lives and prayed to God not to let them die.
So anyone looking for a quick conclusion will conclude that prayers kill.
