This is not the first time you played only silly circular word games.
A word of advice avoid any topic requiring critical thinking, particularity requiring any scientific and mathematical understanding, like the idiotic story you posted about face masks.

I didn't make up any "properties" or attributes for God. God's attribute of Immutability is explicitly and implicitly taught throughout scripture.
And what part of the definition of "essence" or "nature" don't you get? When talking about a rational entity's nature or essence, we are making a statement about that entity's
being. What that entity
is.
When a rational entity changes his mind about something, this change of mind does not entail a corresponding change to his nature -- or his being -- or what he is -- or what his substance is!
