Mormon 9:19 Textual Variants

and if there was miracles wrought then why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an [unchangeable 1ACFGIJLMNOPQRST|unchangable BDE|unchanged HK] Being

The 1874 RLDS edition replaced unchangeable with unchanged; this appears to be a typo. The 1908 RLDS edition restored the correct unchangeable. Elsewhere in the text, we have two other references to God being unchangeable:

Moroni 8:12 if not so / God is a partial God and also a changeable God
Moroni 8:18 for I know that God is not a partial God neither a changeable being but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity

There is no need to make a change to unchanged in Mormon 9:19.

Summary: The text in Mormon 9:19 should read “an unchangeable Being” (the earliest reading), not “an unchanged Being” (an error in the 1874 RLDS edition).
