So now we rely on Websters to resolve our spiritual paradoxes, huh? I don't think we can or should turn to a secular dictionary to resolve this dilemma.
If the Bible explicitly says that God "repented" and if the Bible explicitly states that God does not change his mind, then obviously where it concerns God, to "repent" does not mean to "change one's mind."
By your dictionary we are left with regret or contrition, which would imply that God made a mistake. But God does not make mistakes, does he?
I don't think Webster's is going to resolve the paradox.
Do you deny that God "repented"? If not then are you willing to pick from "a" or "b"?
Or do you think that maybe there's some things we mortals just can't understand?
Well if we "mortals" can't define what the word "repent" means we might as well throw out the Bible. You asked me where I got my definition. To be perfectly honest I didn't get it from Webster but from the Navigators. They must have got it from Webster.
