He treated his own fcukup.
Same way God didn't see Soddom and Gomorah coming....
Same way God didn't see Eve disobeying....
Same way God didn't know the exact outcome of the first world he created.......

I could go on listing inconsistencies from the Bible ,but I won't.... misconceptions nullify judgment!!!
Christianity is the most illogical set of thoughts imposed on fools through fear.

Yes the Lord repented not as humans will. 'Repented' in this case simply means in a sorry state or in a state of grieve.

This same statement was also made in Genesis 6:6 when God was in a state of grieve for making man.

In any case God's plan is always accomplished, though he was disappointed but never surprised because there is eternal plan for whatever man's action brings.

Most of us alike, would by default speak for God (Humanly speaking becos ofcourse it's not like God cares whether we do or not, He remains God), but mate, ur defense hardly flies.

Smile. So an all- knowing don't regret?

You have been educated on what the word repented mean in the verse but some foolish head slammer still go about showing there foolishness.

Well I'm surprise, your gigolo fake prophet did more than that.


Slow down your horse. I understand how difficult it is to reason because your brain has been damaged by religious platitude and semantics.

Let me dumb it down for you:

An all-knowing god KNOWS EVERYTHING. Including his actions and THEIR CONSEQUENCES.

It would follow that such god would not have to regret or repent. Because he knows the end result of his action in the first place.

A god that understands the consequences of his actions and then goes on to do them anyway is a sorry excuse for a god.



Also, a god who creates people knowing they would screw up and piss him off and then chooses to punish the creation eternally for doing what HE very well KNEW they would do is a sadistic, masochist, tyrannic asshole who luckily doesn't exist. Except in the head of religious fools like you.

the repentance of God is his expression of a different attitude and action about something past or future not because events have taken him off guard, but because events make the expression of a different attitude more fitting now than it would have been earlier. God’s mind “changes,” not because it responds to unforeseen circumstances, but because he has
ordained that his mind accord with the way he himself orders the changing events of the world.
had to reread this post twice wasn't so clear at first

That is God changed the way he treated them because of their offense, which was according to his plan.


so God doesn't change but changes situation. undecided ?

Samuel said to Saul; God is not man that He should lie, He is not a human being that He should change His mind 'repent.' It shows that God does not stop being who He is. He is never wrong. But God can change or repent His decision, not because He made a mistake but because men make mistakes. You should marvel at the incredible love and respect God has for man. God could have decided to create man as robotic beings who'd never digress from the path God set them on, instead God made man exactly like Himself- giving them freewill to make our own decisions. If you think God made a mistake by giving human freewill, then you and I need a deeper Bible study we can't do here. Be it as it may, man has freewill, and because man is often swinging from left to right, God is often making adjustments in His decisions. God does not change but He could change His decisions.
This is the perfect explanation.

God does not change from being God, but he can alter his decisions to accommodate man's errors because he's as merciful as he is a consuming fire. But God does not change from being God.

Was he not supposed to know the outcome of making saul king..
He did know the outcome, and that's why David was his plan all along. Remember, Jesus was a "blood" descendant of King David, and not Saul. As for Saul being king, The people wanted a king, out of their rebellion against God because up until that time, Israel never had a physical king, they had judges and God was their King directly. But they rejected God as king and demanded for a physical king like other nations. In response to their rebellion, God gave them Saul, the kind of king suitable for rebellious people. So the King Saul project was never going to last, because God hates rebellion. And later Saul would rebel against God just like the people he represented.

If a happens then b, else c

If c happens then f, else g



This iteration can go on for infinity.
If I designed the logic, I would probably know all the logical outcomes.

Imagine the variables are made of humans and their actions, the creator of the program can know the outcome of every possible course of action taken, while feeling bad about actions that will not lead to a desirable outcome.

This is a simplistic analogy of the universe as it relates to your question.

Don't sweat this. He still knows the end from the beginning, just like a supercomputer will know the outcome of several simulations.

What worries me however, is that you are not asking for answers. You are just mocking.

Let me explain how God might 'repent' or do something differently than He had hoped. Because you see, that's what it means that God repented: to feel differently than He had before. In the Bible, God said that if He set out to punish a sinner because of their sins and that sinner turns from their sinful ways and acts righteously, God said He'll change His mind 'repent' about punishing that sinner anymore. To repent is to change and even though God Himself does not change, He could change His decisions especially when dealing with men because men are not constant like Him. Do you understand now?
I thought that since he is the all knowing god that always was he should be above mistakes na. Mtchheeew religion self ehn especially Christianity and Islam even Greek mythology get better explanations.

God's omniscience does not mean that God
changes His character to pretend that everything is fine when human beings sin. For example, in Genesis 6:6, the Lord was sorry because of the rampant sin that mankind had fallen into. So, even though God knew what was going to happen, He was sad that human beings were thinking only about how to sin more and more. We basically have the same reaction
to our own children. We grieve when they make bad choices, although if we had it to do over, we would still have brought them into the world. Dint we ?

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by LANDLORD72: 10:37am On Feb 16, 2020
NEVER MOCK THESE 3 SETS OF PEOPLE!

1: � Never mock your HUSBAND.

Your husband is the head of your family. This is God's order.

Mocking him is defying the laws of God.
Micah mocked David her husband. She called him a " vain fellow shamelessly uncovering himself".

When you begin to call your husband names, you are in for serious trouble.
Her womb was closed. She never had a child for David.

When you mock your husband, it will adversely affect the innocent children. (Read 2 Samuel 6)

2: �Never mock your FATHER.

The Bible is very clear and explicit. Reuben went to sleep with his father's concubine and he ended up with a curse. This is mockery.
Absalom chased his father away from the throne. He died unceremoniously.
Whatever you do to bring shame to your father is mockery.

Mothers, never instigate your children against their father. It will be too dangerous for them. Whatever disagreements you have with their father stops with you. Do not extend it.

Remember, the Bible only talks about the Father's Blessing. Let the heart of their father bless the children.

Malachi 4:6 says... whosoever separates children from their father, upon them shall be a curse. (NLT)
If you are guilty of this, please humble yourself and go and make things right with your father. If you don't, life will be a struggle for you. Be wise.

3: � Never mock a true SERVANT OF GOD.
.....

Some youths came out of nowhere and began to chant a mockery song against Elisha. They were torn into pieces by bears.

I met an elderly man in Benin who shared his experience. He said, on the morning Archbishop Benson Idahosa's death was announced, he was so excited because he hated the man with passion. He said he sent for two of his friends and they began to toast to Archbishop's death. While still making noise and bantering in his sitting room, some people ran into his house and told him a gravel tipper had just knocked down his son on his way to lectures at University of Benin. The young undergraduate died on the spot.

The elderly man in his seventies said..... 'My sister, I have learnt never to mock a true servant of God'.

I have a praying group. One of the women there approached me to come lead the husband to Christ on his death bed. In humility, the man surrendered his life to Jesus and there was an aura of peace on his embattled face. Before he breathed his last, he said...... "All my life, I have mocked servants of God. We are 5 friends and all of them died this way. I am the last of them but now I have made peace with God"

Never join anyone to mock true servants of God. Job said, what I do not know, I searched out. This is the wisdom of great people. Wise people do not despise spiritual dignitaries.
It is well with us all in Jesus name. But we have a lot of fake man of God I am not talking about them.

There's a dent in your statement. What is logical? According to whom? By ascribing to logic, we can be sure you do have a belief system. And who says spirituality from the perspective of Christianity has to be logical? Some of you guys run around thinking you are being smart by subscribing to logic, but that's quite dum and for others that solely depend on religion for existence, that's foolish as well.

What does it mean, and the Lord repented?

It means the lord is not omniscient hence repenting because an omniscient being need not to repent or is he acting out of a script?

It means you have to start using your brain, this is a clear proof of inconsistency and contradiction of the Bible against itself, reasoning and common sense.

How does he change the choice of a people when he gave them a free will in the first place.

If he wanted people he could override their decisions and abilities to think he could have made us all like the animals case closed

Do you know that Idi Amin quote, "Freedom of speech is guaranteed, but freedom after speech is not guaranteed". Well, it's kind of analogous to what we (humans) have with God, 'Freedom of choice is guaranteed but freedom after choice is not guaranteed', so essentially you have to choose wisely. God doesn't change our choice, our free will is always guaranteed, we have the sole right to make our choices, but after we make those choices, God reserves the sole right to reward or punish us for the choice we made. We have the free will to make choices and God has the free will to judge the choices we make.

Which mistakes are you talking about? Is it a mistake that you have freewill? Would you rather you were no more than a glorified robot? Nonetheless, satan must have thought Jesus made a biiiig mistake coming to the world but at the end satan ended up regretting killing Jesus because it was all an elaborate plan to rescue man. I'm saying, even now, its not over. God is still working out a plan, the world is still on course. Anyone who is wise will join God's family because He always wins and every eye will see that what they were foolish to assume God was not in control or had made a mistake.
