The God Who Regrets

The God Who Regrets
Genesis 6:6-7 Wrote:6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

We are told that god is the same yesterday, today and forever. He never changes.  If the sins of man made him regret making them, will not also the sins of Christians make him regret  sending Jesus? Yes, he made a promise, but we see here that he is capable of regretting his actions, and a promise is an action.

You will argue that regret doesn't mean he didn't know what man would do. That doesn't change the fact that he still created man, knowing he would regret creating him but did it anyway. So there's no reason why he might have sent Jesus and later regret it, since the church does the same things that made him regret making men.

Fornication, murder, adultery, lust, violence. You name it, the church has done it. At this point, you mayplay the free will card. So we can violate god's will , but he can't violate ours? Interesting. For 2 thousand years the chrurch has done these things unabated. Perhaps god has already regretted and abandoned you.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
