ibinaboonline:Who is talking about no freewill. He created us and temptations, if there were no temptation would there be sin. There may be a God but all he did was to create the world kpam that is all. There is nothing like a daddy in the sky who loves you face the facts. |

One gift God gave man is free will to choice whatever they want... Someone will ask if God know all we do even before we do them doesn't that mean our free will means nothing Let me explain what God regrets in man. God already watched how our life started and ended ( he only watched it but didn't interfere in it') heknows any step we will take cos he already watched the future and knows that's the step we took. God regretted Saul as a king cos he already saw the future which isrealities as humans couldn't see. God doesn't regret his actions but actions that resulted due to man's deviation from his plans as God 2 Likes |

Openbusiness: Here's the thing in Jeremiah though that's what he thought and said, God still brought calamity upon them because God said he would in Jonah, yes God relented but that God hadn't yet pronounced a word against them and honestly God did that later and in another prophetic book, years later |

BlueAngel444: God doesn't change his PERSONALITY. He is who he is for all eternity, like it is written He is the same yesterday, today and forever. But God did and does change his mind about whatever he feels like changing his mind over. Earliest case of this was like when God said it is not good for man to be alone. So you can see God obviously changed his mind there. Because initially he created only Adam. He could have made them both from the beginning, but initially Adam alone was his intention. Then he changed his mind and made Eve too. 1 Like |

Sunnycliff: I also notice that much of the scripture that has to do with God repenting, changing his mind or as some have explained remorseful, regretting, sad disappointed all have to do with when men sin or go against him. Scripture says it doesn't please God to punish us, or destroy sinners but he has to I also notice God doesn't repent from his blessings or change them reading Numbers 23:19 something Balaam said that is who God has blessed no one can curse, even God won't change the blessings I believe the repentance has to do with halting a thing n it not lasting but like scripture says God's blessings endureth forever |
Re: "And The Lord Repented" by Sunnycliff(m): 11:04am On Feb 16, 2020 |
BlueAngel444: Exactly. That shows you that when a man repents from his evil ways, there's nothing like punishment because of his evil deeds. Just like some people saying that Apostle Paul was persecuted because he persecuted Christians before conversion. Referring to sowing and reaping |

You have made an argument which is quite controversial and subjective. While I agree that God is all-knowing, opining that everything is God's plan is a subjective statement. It depends on what you call a plan. Personally, i believe a plan must include the consequences of any action whichever direction the action takes. Some may think that a plan should consist of your objectives, in the case of God, everything that is, must be according to his plan. An important consideration when discussing the subject of God's plan is Man's free will. There's a cost for having free will. Live with the consequences of your actions. in fact there are layers of the subject of "action and consequences". Doing the same things under different circumstances may not have the same consequences. if God forces everything on us, i.e, Lagbaja must do this, then the existence of free will goes straight out of the window. Again what your free will entails may vary under different circumstances. As a Christian for example, you had the free will to choose, and this choice in a way limits other aspects of your free will. You cannot do so so and so. So as we exercise our free will in one aspect, other aspects may change. And of course there are still some aspects of God that are mysterious. My 2kobo.

AntiChristian:this guy, happy Sunday did u go to church today I believe God knows everything I also believe God feels as well, I have understood from people's responses so far what it means. like a father who knows what the mistakes a child would do but is unhappy about what that. I mean if it simple means God is unhappy with sin and God is happy blessing us.. then that's good |

In the first context, I agree. But moving forward, if God could repent, that means the salvation Christ brought wasn't one sided. It was for both God and man. For he broke his own commandments trying to draw man closer hence the blood on the cross of Calvary |

Robin1759:the almighty God doesn't make mistakes, He plans the end from the beginning and his word never fails but men n flesh fail. If God was happy about the darkness and void that was he wouldn't have made light, so till all things he has said come to pass he will be grieved till it is fulfilled and evil and wickedness are no more upon the face of the earth |

BlueAngel444:free will isn't an illusion, it is the basics upon which judgement comes (else everyman can say God I didn't do this on my own you did, so you can't hold me accountable). Yes God knows the end from the beginning but it is still your decisions, choices right and wrong that determined that end. You think God didn't know Adam and Eve would sin b4 creating them and adding freewill to them? You think he hadn't prepared Christ for the fault of Adam and Eve even before they were created? He understood the Injustice it had been for everyone to suffer from Adam and Eve error which again was solely the error of Adam and Eve not his. In a nutshell he saw the end from the beginning, and his plan and reaction was only carved out to match the decisions the Man has made. Hence he sees the end yes, but our actions and choices are what defines that end, his input is fruit we must really from our choices |

Religion feeds on fear and ignorance. Religion teaches acceptance without questioning. Questioning is considered an act of unbelieve. Most people never reason how the whole thing started; we forgot that someone infuse this sh*ts into our heads before we grew the ability to question. God was designed to check the level of our reasoning and questioning while the priest reminds the weaklings about cain and carrot. Growing into believing a god is not different from how you build your personality around the names you answer. Which came first? You or your given names. Is your name your name? At what point in your life did you start identifying with your names? Can you remember telling yourself at the age of 6months; this is my name? Dogs respond to names, does that mean it is their name? Are they even dogs? At what age did you know or accept god as your creator? is it your thinking? If you can feel bad when your "given" names are insulted, don't you think the same thing is applicable to your given God or given tribe, etc? Check that thing you are defending very critically, honestly, they are instructions that grew up with your consciousness. Yes, they influence our illusory life so strongly in so many ways, but, it will never change the reality of who we really are. The defenders and promoters of religious bullsh*ts do so for different reasons; some do it out of fear and ignorance, some do it out of 'spiritual' arrogance and urge to dominate, and some do it because many do it or because they are jobless. Is it not stupid, that a created being whose source is a book written by another created being attempts forcing a creator on another created being. Is the creator not in all creation? Can a pot say to another pot- "here is the potter?" God is in All and those who seek will find, not through any compilation of egoic bullsh*ts called God's word, but by faith. God's word is his creations, pay attention. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Mikehot:The logic is on you who thinks pmb actions, a mere mortal he is, must be perfect while mistakes of your Lord-God can be excused. What that portion tells is that Jesus who you refer to as Lord never was, but actually a mere mortal sent by the Lord to lead his people at that time and he could not have been perfect because perfection is an attribute only for God, the Creator. 2 Likes |

The word repented here does not really mean direct interpretation, it depends on which version of Bible you read, like NIV, it says regretted. Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the LORD regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel. I Samuel 15v35. |

Re: "And The Lord Repented" by BlueAngel444: 11:23am On Feb 16, 2020 |
Reality11:Repentance really isn't changing one's previous action but acknowledge what is wrong. like when God darkness wasn't ok, it wasn't ok for man to be alone. If God was happy with it he would have no need to change it. when the prophets like Daniel repented it wasn't because they did something wrong God not pardoning sin as been his nature every since. God doesn't condone rebellion. God said let there be light and saw, there was need for him examining what he had done. God was judging his own work and kept working till it pleased him. |

The story you are rambling about on the Lord been sent and wasn't perfect, I still don't know the verse you referring to cos that's not even the subject of discuss here. Maybe you can create another topic on it so I educate you on it |
