Its a question that has burdered me for quite some time now. .why didin't god destroy the human race and make do with his angels and other creation rather than regret ever creating them cos of evil. . .i was probably thnkin he doesn't have the power to do that. .just thinking

Yeah it is funny when u think about it.
God who sees the future saw that he would create a race who would get tempted by satan, commit all sort of evil, and who he would regret creating multiple times.

Yet he still goes on to create them, allows the devil tempt them, punishes them for something he could have prevented, and later regrets creating beings he knew he would regret creating?

He sure would make a good business man.

The idea of an omniscient being having any regrets is absurd. bed time story for kids.

it is called "freewill" God wanted free creatures, it is man's work to chose his master!

Ubenedictus: it is called "freewill" God wanted free creatures, it is man's work to chose his master!

But why did God regret? Could he not see what his false freewill will do?

Logicboy03: But why did God regret? Could he not see what his false freewill will do?

be careful wen u interprete scriptures! That he regreted doesn't imply he didnt know.

Ubenedictus: be careful wen u interprete scriptures! That he regreted doesn't imply he didnt know.

If he knew, why would he regret?

Your god is sounding schizophrenic

He trustd man totaly. Man fucckd up totaly

Ubenedictus: it is called "freewill" God wanted free creatures, it is man's work to chose his master!

Freewill has nothing to do with this. The main thing is that he saw evil and unneccessary suffering coming but he still went after it. I say unneccessary becos a loving and wise being would try his best to prevent evil from taking place.

If u see a raging fire ahead of u would u still follow that path?

It seems ur god was interested in watching some entertaining drama series from earth.
Being around nothing but darkness must have been really boring for him.

saintvc: He trustd man totaly. Man fucckd up totaly

I can't imagine seeing the future, being a hundred percent sure that saintvc would betray me by selling off my car, and still foolishly trust him with it.Only for him to sell it off and I start regretting.
It makes absolutely no sense.

^^^^

It makes perfect sense.

God saw it and had no means to change the future.

Hence God is omnipotent and also impotent

^^^
Oh now I see

Too UGLY inside and out!
In his own image and likeness!

if u dash (give generously) saintvc ur car, it would be wrong to force him to not to use d car because u know he may crash wit it.

Ubenedictus: if u dash (give generously) saintvc ur car, it would be wrong to force him to not to use d car because u know he may crash wit it.

If you dash a car to your young child, you should be able to know whether that child would use the car responsibly or not. That's where your judgement as a good parent should come in. If your child uses the car responsibly, you be proud and would eagerly take the credit for raising a good child. But if , on the other hand,your child uses the car to kill or main himself and others,then you , the parent would be blamed for not only raising an irresponsible child , but also for your poor judgement in giving him what was a potentially dangerous tool without adequate supervision.

So if God regretted creating man, it means that he had come to terms with his error and bad judgement.

don33310: The bible God does not have the power to see the future

Exactly. He didn't even have the power to see 'Adam' hiding in the bush. (''Adam where art thou''?)

Why?

Because the 'God' of the bible IS NOT GOD. Perhaps some advanced being or powerful alien potentate with significantly advanced technology.

BUT NOT GOD.

Or maybe God does not exist and all of this is just fairytales.

We are talking of two different things and u know it.
This is not aout him controlling anybody but about him preventing evil.
If god saw so much evil ahead of some things, like the devil's temptation then why did he not prevent the devil from tempting eve. Mind u he is not controlling anybody, just protecting them.

Ubenedictus: if u dash (give generously) saintvc ur car, it would be wrong to force him to not to use d car because u know he may crash wit it.

Mehn u christians can be so annoying. I'm talking about point A then u start defending point B.
If u have no answer then just be silent.

If he knew saintvc would crash, probably retaining severe injuries, he would not give him the car at all.
It makes no diff whether its given or borrowed. The main point is that u saw evil approaching, u went ahead and allowed it come, and then u start regretting something u could have easily prevented and whch u knew u would regret.

What a crazy investor ur god is.

Cant God go back in time and change things? Why does He have to regret? Things just dont add up.

Human beings were destined to commit sin right from the start. Think about it. Human beings have to kill animals to eat in order to survive. Even animalskill other animals for the same reason. (Yes o man must wack). So its a lose lose situation

YOU HEATHENS NEED TO LEAVE THE SCRIPTURES ALONE. IT IS NOT FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF HEATHENS. HEATHENS CANT SEE PAST THE 'LITERAL'

how is he to prevent d devil without controlling d devil? How is he to stop d fall of eve without controlling eve. The fact that d factor in play are free willed mean God isn't suppose to control them.

Good job @obads. Ur fellow christian is confused and humbly asks a question and the first thing u do is insult him?
Even atheists didn't do that.

Good job.

HE CREATED HEATHENS TO BE USED AS HIS SWORD AGAINST THE NEGROS ( ISRAEL). HOWEVER AFTER THEIR MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED HE OFFERED THEM A CHANCE AT SALVATION. THE IRONY OF THIS WHOLE THING IS THAT SOME NEGROS ( WHO ARE NATURALLY GODLY PEOPLE ) HAVE BECOME MORE UNGODLY THAN THE HEATHENS ( WHO ARE NATURALLY UNGODLY PEOPLE ). YOU WILL BE IN THE CATEGORY OF GODLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BECOME MORE UNGODLY THAN THE UNGODLY.

EZEKIEL 5 VS 6 But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations and against My statutes more than the lands which surround her; for they have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.' <<< YOU HAVE BECOME MORE UNGODLY THAN THE HEATHENS MAKING YOU A SUPER-HEATHEN
