GOD has regrets? how can an omnipotent being regret something?
Post #1I get hung up right in genesis when after he creates us and we sin he regrets making us. (and all powerful being should not have regrets ) I believe there’s a God, Or more accurately something going on so far beyond our understanding that Other than a small glimpse our human minds are not capable of understanding it. our brains/egos would rather make something up and admit we don’t understand, come to believe that people Who think they know Gods will ,understand him ,and can speak for him ,are either delusional Or deceitful...I believe we have created God In our on image.and What is really going on iso much more amazing than we can ever imagine

Re: GOD has regrets? how can an omnipotent being regret something?
Post #31Yes but according to the evidence of the creation,[not the evidence of the bible account], if there is a creator, then do you think the universe [creation] shows us that the creator makes mistakes and is fallible?
Why do you refer to The Creator as 'he'?
Because shes don't have beards.

Why do you rely on religious imagery as being practical useful evidence in relation to who you therefore should think the creator would appear as?
Also, if you net-search "images for bearded ladies" you might be astounded how easily your statement is disproved...
The bible consists of a collection of authors who shared similar beliefs about the nature of The Creator.The is one of the names used in the bible to denote The Creator.I assume you're now taking about Jehovah.
I meant to write "That is one of the names used in the bible to denote The Creator."??????????????

you said
"Because shes don't have beards."
And I showed you were you could find evidence that was not the case.
As to better sources of god images, these can be source through a net-search. Bearing in mind of course, that personal preferences come into play. Your personal preferences seem obviously to lean toward the images you presented from the sources you got them from.

Post #34Well, the interesting thing about any word given is that one either chooses to believe it, or one chooses to dismiss it as just a "story."
Grace and peace to all.

I specifically called it a story, not "just a story".
I am fully inspired to understand that all the stories in the bible are true accounts. of actual happenings.

Post #36If you wish to see it that way then any story told can be true or false as the case may be.
All happenings are essentially stories
Belief becomes required only until any story one believes in remains unproven as in "unknown as to whether the story is true or false "

Post #37"Perfect" is always subjective, never objective!
For a kid molester who rapes a kid it might be perfect sex, while the kid and his parents might think otherwise.
To believe in oblective perfection is foolish and leads nowhere if debated.
