You haven't read all my post, just because I do not believe evolution doesn't mean I do not appreciate real science.
GC Wrote:Where did you come up with your idea that God regretted creating man, seems you're applying a word to a passage, so you can make an argument. You should check out scripture before you spout out things it doesn't say and try then to make an argument from the word you applied, talk about a waste of time.
God said He was sorry He created man. (sorry-adj. meaning- unpleasant state, mournful, sad. God did not make a wrong decision, man did and paid for it.
Quote:"And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." Genesis 6:6 (KJV)
This verse means sorry or sorrow, the word regret does't appear here.
You're wrong.
Quote:"the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart." Genesis 6:6 (Holman Christian Standard)
I do not have this version so I can't say 100% it's not there. I doubt it though, why, I find it hard to believe you have all these versions, I find it probable you went to an atheist site to get these verses.
Quote:"And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart." Genesis 6:6 (ESV)
I know for a fact that the ESV doesn't use the word regretted, why, because I have one I use to study scripture and I looked it up before I posted my earlier statements to you. You are being nothing but deceptive, to prove a point, one that is not true, why, because you do not want Christians to be correct in anything they say. If you're going to challenge me about scripture you better come with something besides deception.
Quote:"The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled." Genesis 6:6 (NIV)
I have the NIV also and the word regretted does not appear in this verse, actually it uses the word grieved, meaning sorry or sorrow, you're still running a game of deception, shame on you. You are making atheist look bad with this approach, I just answered a post about how atheist do this very thing a few minutes ago.
Quote:"And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." Genesis 6:6 (ASV)
Again you post a verse that doesn't use the word regret, and actually uses two words to support He was sorry, those would be grieved and repented, to repent means to be and or have sorrow.
Here's some more, NASV, Genesis 6:6 "And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The literal translation of the last part of this verse means 'to grieve.' That would be to hurt or to be sad.
NLT Genesis 6:6 " so the LORD was sorry He ever made them. It broke His heart. Again regret is not even hinted at, God was sad He made them because of what they had become, and hurt at how they had disobeyed and turned to their own evil ways.
Quote:How do you like your crow?
I think I would like to see it served on your plate, raw, that way you might consider being honest and doing honest research before you run off at the mouth.
Quote:Maybe you should check your own book.
I did before I ever posted the first time, I have several versions here and all support God did not regret creating man, He was sorrowed and hurt by their actions. It's you who should check his sources, either that or quite adding in words that are not that.
Quote: Let's ignore all of that and say you're right, and that the lord is simply sorry. When I'm sorry about something I've done it means that I fucked up and I know it.
Again, God was not sorry He created man, His sorrow was over how they had become so evil. God did not make them evil, man was more than capable of screwing themselves up.
Quote:As per my definition of evidence, God is tangible, measurable, and knowable? GC, are you high? He is none of those things and I would have to concede that point even if I were a believer.
The thing you need to concede is you are not capable of interpreting scripture.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
