Does God Make Mistakes? Part Duce

Genesis 6:6-7 (New International Version)

6 The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”


So, as you can read, God DOES NOT make mistakes. He had REGRETS. He was DEEPLY TROUBLED. But no mistakes. He was deeply troubled by humans and so he killed the animals, too... just cuz. I guess the humans were so evil that the animals got some Evil Human Juice splashed onto them, and therefore, they needed to be killed by their maker. God killed the animals, like puppies and bunnies and kittens, but this was not a mistake! He MEANT to kill all those kittens. Because a "regret" is different from a "mistake". A mistake is something you did wrong. A regret is when you feel bad for something you did wrong. See the difference? Me, too.

I think it's pretty cool that the Unquestioned Literal Word of God found in the Bible came to us neatly wrapped in English so we can read and understand it, rather than in a language that would be understood by the people who actually wrote down the words of God as they heard it in ancient Egypt... before the invention of English.
