Stupid question, but no, and it's God, not god. Agree that it was a stupid question. Why did god make frank post it? It wasn't a stupid question, not if we consider the descriptions of god we have in the OT.

So I didn't give the answer you would've posted IZH. DBT can pm anytime too.
I gave concise direct answers from God's Word with no fluff. I also provided a very good message that answers those questions in further details. Multitasking right now and sorry I don't have time to take the bait you're trolling with.

Iniquity is knowing something is a sin and doing it anyway. God abhors iniquity...just asl Sodom and Gomorrah. powdr

HC You blasted onto this board two years ago. You frequently requested that people contact you by PM so that you could instruct them. You have presented yourself as a teacher/evangelist where matters of the Gospel are concerned. Don’t stop there. He also presented his self as: Sensei martial arts expert Nutritional expert Medical expert Designer and builder of packs Backpacking expert Not much he don’t spurt about.

Stupid question, but no, and it's God, not god. Then I don’t sin, since he made me in god’s likeness. I’m GTG. Except that everyone sins. If that makes you feel better about yourself good try though

HC.
It isn’t trolling to point out the obvious.
Edited to add: HC. Do you sin?

I find it interesting how often the God of the Old Testament is surprised and angered by events he apparently didn't see coming, and that he regrets decisions he's made. Hard to reconcile that with an omnipotent being. I think these kinds of observations/questions are good, insightful, honest, and legitimate. My thoughts in regards to your post is why can't God be both omniscient and capable of regret...? Why must those characteristics be mutually exclusive...? The ability to know things ahead of time doesn’t necessarily exclude the possibility of having an emotional response such as regret when they occur. I knew ahead of time my kids were gonna crash and get scraped up, but I still encouraged them to learn how to ride bicycles. And when they did crash and get scraped up, I had an emotional response to it. Being a parent is far from being a God though. You didn't know ahead of time how your kids would screw up, or why they did it. Nor did you create your kids in the way the Biblical God created people, and you didn't create all the circumstances surrounding them. Even so, we still hold parents somewhat responsible for their children's behavior. I can't see any honest way to reconcile the different versions of God in the Old Testament. If it makes sense to other people though, I have no problem with that.

xxclaro, I think many people share your perception. And I can see why people might have that perception. If it doesn’t make sense to you/them, I have no problem with that. I think God experiences emotions, even though He is omniscient and omnipotent. And I see no contradictions at all pertaining to that.

I do think that God felt regret and remorse seeing His Son tortured and crucified, even though it was His plan all along. Even though He knew ahead of time that this was going to happen, I do think it still broke His heart, and caused Him pain and sorrow. And I see no contradictions at all pertaining to that.

But not necessarily in this instance, which is why theology is still being debated, even amongst believers.

Yes. I do believe that Jesus not only lived a sinless life, but was perfectly merciful and gracious and reverent throughout His entire life. I'm 99% sure that Mary Magdalene taste tested his manna... You say some offensive things but that is the worst yet.
