Until someone explains this to me, i will not read the bible or attend any church again!

Why will the Bible say, “Almighty, Powerful and Supreme God the creator of heaven and earth, who’s knows about the future, regretted creating man?

You can only regret if you don’t know tomorrow!

Anyone who believes God regrets, that person means God does not know tomorrow! And I don’t agree with that. As long as i know and believe, my God does not regret because he knows the beginning and the end.


This is one among other bibles verses that says; God regret.
Genesis 6:6 (CSB) the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth.

Feel free to enlighten me if you have anything to say!

I think you are allowing the ignorance of others to lord over you. Someone wrote in a book that the Lord regrets, and you believe like a typical church goer that the writer actually read God's mind.

Good thing is despite it being written that one should believe, your lack of belief is indicative of you being a questioner and an understander.

There is no merit in trembling like demons do.

If God knows the Future then i should ask you - Who wrote the future (i.e determined what the future will/should be)
If you understand the question above, you will understand that -There is nothing like A completely scripted The tomorrow/The Future...

It's because of his Holiness!

Holy means Pure, someone pure only thinks what is good because his mind is filled with good motives. So when God was creating everything he never had any ulterior motive regarding what he was doing, everything was working fine as planned because his first creature Jesus never posed any threat to his works! Proverbs 8:22-31 compare to John 1:1, 18

But when he started creating other intelligent creatures, some began misusing their freewill, that's why he said what you quoted.

Of all the things God created on planet earth, the only creature that saddened him is the same that supposed to take care of all other fleshy creatures on the planet (man) Genesis 1:26-28

He regrets not because he's not capable of knowing tomorrow, but because he never thought of evil!

Maximus69:


He regrets not because he's not capable of knowing tomorrow, but because he never thought of evil!

Brother you’re contradicting yourself!

The sentence “Never thought of evil” proves that your god never had knowledge of tomorrow.

I have asked this question on different groups on Facebook and to my surprise non have been able to have a good explanation.

The only thing i know and believe is that, “My God who created the heaven and earth, the almighty God is not man and can never regret! No sin, action by any of his creatures is a surprise to my God. I disagree with what the Bible written by man says that God regrets! God forbid. You all wants to reduce my God to man! Never!

Imagine you saying God is capable of knowing tomorrow but never thought of evil! Did you hear yourself?? Lol

How can you be able to know tomorrow but you can’t know about the evil of tomorrow Lol

So because someone has the ability to do something he should always do it even when it's not necessary?
No wonder they can't understand why God allows suffering!

Yes, God created all things... even that which you know as good and evil. Even the very knowledge of that which is good and evil belongs to God.

Anyways, God did not tell you to believe everything in the bible. That whole "the Bible is infallible" doctrine, man invented that.

Also God certainly didn't ask you or anyone to go to church either. Matter of fact, the world church you know of today all have roots in the Roman church, which was decided on by disgruntled Bishops who saw the Christian movement as a source of power and wealth that should be controlled by them, about 300 years after the disciples had all died off.

Ofcourse the many bishops and those that followed did a good job of killing off the competition and what you have today is all rooted in all that.

So?

the only precise and accurate teaching in the entire bible is christ. Read the bible again in light of christ, and it should make sense.

Well, I don't know about the regret part... That, you will have to present before your God for answers. But I can tell you that God indeed knows and sees tomorrow from today.

How else is He able to tell of what is to happen tomorrow and many tomorrows later? Only a God that sees into the future, can indeed predict the events of tomorrow.

So?

Well that's not accurate. The concept of the word "church" is rooted in the New testament in the Greek word ekklesia, which means "a called out assembly". The word ekklesia is used in the greek translation of the old testament (the Bible of Jesus, the apostles and the early church), where it is used for the general assembly of the Jewish people, especially when gathered for a religious purpose such as hearing of the Law. It's also used in classical Greek for a general assembly of people but for the majority of the time it's used in the new testament, it was used to denote the gathering of believers(about 115x).

After the Ascension of the Lord, the early Jesus followers came together under the leadership of the disciples to worship,pray, learn and strengthen one another. This concept spread outside of Judea when the Jerusalem persecution started and many of the apostles were forced to spread out within the Roman empire. Everywhere they went they setup this ekklesia (churches) which regularly met in homes and so on(see the book of acts). Hence the bulk of the new testament are letters to these young churches in order to give them doctrinal instructions,words of encouragement,words of admonishment and also pastoral instructions like how to organise the church, what type of person should be chosen as a Presbyter(leader of a local Church),how to approach the bread and the cup(holy communion) and so on.[the letters are generally divided into 3: a) Letters to specific churches b) Pastoral letters c) catholic letters( not to be confused with the later Roman Catholic church; catholic here means universal).
Even the Lord's address in the book of revelation was to churches in Asia Minor.

The idea that one can be a Christain in isolation as it's taught today would be foreign to the apostles and the early Christians. Yes, the Christain race is a personal race but that is just one half of the equation. The body of Christ has always been a communal body where Jesus followers come together to worship, pray, strengthen one another, learn from others and share the bread and the cup together as Jesus instructed(Luke 22:18-20, 1corinthians 11:23-25, mark 14:22-25). The Christain race is a personal race but also a race ran with the help of other believers. Doing one without the other, one runs the risk of being pulled into an extreme.

Its understandable why most people are skeptical of being part a church today especially with all the fake congregations we hear of everyday, but no matter how bad it looks, there are still and will always be lots of genuine Jesus communities around. Just as Elijah thought he was alone but God was like naa, i still have 70,000 people who have not bowed to Baal(see 1kings 19:18), so it is today. The idea is to prayerfully seek out these communities. This is the laid down principle from the Lord.

It would also be great if more Christains take interest in the real historical Jesus and christainity through the ages, because we are living in a time of hyper misinformation. Too much is been ascribed to the Roman Catholic church and Constantine. This things have been repeated for so long on YouTube and blogs that they sound like facts even though they are historically incorrect.

Aside: The English word "church" comes from Old English cirice, circe which after passing through multiple languages eventually ends up at the Greek word kuriakē oikia(house of the Lord).

In the English language, the word "church refers to a group of people or a gathering of people for a common purpose or reason. The word is also used in reference to the buildings in the Christian religion where worshippers gather to worship their God.

church
plural noun: churches
* a building used for public Christian worship.

* a particular Christian organization, typically one with its own clergy, buildings, and distinctive doctrines.

* institutionalized religion as a political or social force.

It wasn't a sermon. It was explaining to you from both a historical context and from the Bible that the gathering of believers as a church is built into the DNA of christainity from the very beginning and it's not a Roman Catholic construct as you posited. It's part and parcel of being a Christain and people shouldn't go about telling others otherwise

It was unnecessary because I was referring there to the root of the "world church" as we have it today, not Christ's Church which is still led by Jesus Christ Himself.

I don't know what you mean by "world" here but the church as we have it today is still basically the same as they had it in the days of the early church (atleast in Bible believing church). It's still a community of believers regularly meeting to worship,to pray, to learn and to share the bread and the cup. There was leadership and organizational then like we have it now(larger now as there are more Christains today as opposed to then). Christ was the head then and Christ is still the head now.
