I couldn't stop pondering on this widely spread belief,after going through a bible passage that tends to contrast God's perfection:

"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." (Genesis 6:5-7).

God was grieved after realising some sort of flaw in his creation. His plans didn't manifest as he intended,hence his deep disappointment.

This is pretty much something one should logically look into,so as to ascertain the validity of his/her conviction.

Morning guy,

Why do you think the passage above undermines the perfection of God?

Morning Musky,

How does that passage send the reality of God's Omniscience to the trash bin?

Yawn. What's regret?

Is it that difficult to say how the passage opposes God's omniscience?

I must suppose you have insights to comprehend the ideas a given bible passage conveys. From the passage,God was palpably said to have grieved and repented to have created man,due to the fickle attitude of man all of a sudden.

God created man to look like him and be good(Genesis 1:30);unfortunately things never turned out to God's expectation. His creation(Man) suddenly bacame bad,which is a probable flaw.

BUT YOU ERR. THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN AS AN EXPRESSIVE AND INQUISITIVE NATURE OF GOD SO THAT THE READER CAN GET AN IDEA OF WHY CERTAIN DECISIONS ARE BEEN MADE. HOWEVER IN REALITY HE DOES NOT ASK HIMSELF THOSE QUESTIONS OR HAVE ANY DOUBTS. ALL HE DOES IS ACTIONS AND REACTIONS. YOU SIN YOU PAY FOR IT. ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES. HOWEVER IF WRITTEN IN THAT CONTEXT IT WILL BE VERY STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND TOO DIRECT. ITS A WORK OF POETRY IF YOU WILL. SEE TO FULLY BE ABLE TO GRASP THE COMPREHENSIVE RICHNESS OF THE BIBLE IN ALL ITS FACET, YOU NEED TO APPROACH IT LIKE A CHILD AND WITH AN OPEN MIND. THAT IS YOUR OBSTACLE AS WELL AS MANY PEOPLE

"...like a child(open minded)". More like naive and blindfolded. Hmmm, everybody ponders on issues,be it trivial or worthwhile. Kids do,even dummies do;consequently,that doesn't invalidate the question. You can't serve someone you don't know properly. You have to know about the entire features and characteristics of someone before giving him a profound service. As a result,God's features ought to be known to its profundity.


Remember,you still haven't made known to us your stance as regards this issue.

MY STANCE ? I HAVE NO STANCE. HOW CAN THE CREATURE QUESTION THE CREATOR ? <<<<< THATS MY STANCE

obadiah777: MY STANCE ? I HAVE NO STANCE. HOW CAN THE CREATURE QUESTION THE CREATOR ? <<<<< THATS MY STANCE

Lol! The creature ain't questioning the creator. The creature is rather questioning itself with respect to the features of the creator.

From the evil bible website it says. . . .

"Let us suppose that this perfect God did create the universe. Humans were the crown of his creation, since they were created in God's image and have the ability to make decisions. However, these humans spoiled the original perfection by choosing to disobey God.

What!? If something is perfect, nothing imperfect can come from it. Someone once said that bad fruit cannot come from a good tree, and yet this "perfect" God created a "perfect" universe which was rendered imperfect by the "perfect" humans. The ultimate source of imperfection is God. What is perfect cannot become imperfect, so humans must have been created imperfect. What is perfect cannot create anything imperfect, so God must be imperfect to have created these imperfect humans. A perfect God who creates imperfect humans is impossible."

Everybody believes in one thing or the other. Only the dead are void of beliefs.
