RnMom said that God doesn't have emotions....that when human kinds of things are mentioned that it's just antropomorphic (and I'm interpreting her, so she needs a chance to respond here, so I've tagged her). Using that principle, one could say that God didn't hate Esau. Nor can we say that God loves. (Both are emotions.)
Nor does God have a hand, even though he covered Moses with his hand.
He LOVES us
I said you were attributing am emotion of man to God.."regret" (yes there is a difference)
Can a perfect God .with perfect foreknowledge regret anything? He can with a breath change anything BEFORE it happens..as He purposes all things..
One of the things that your belief demonstrates is the problem of man. The desire to elevate himself to gods level (as we see in the fall and in many of there cults today),or the need to make God nothing more than a super powerful man like himself..
"Ye shall be as gods"
