Mickey on Isaiah 14:12-16rnrnOne of satans other names is: DESTROYER. He is the ACCUSER of the brethren. He is a murderer, a liar. Revelation 12:10, Job chapter 1-2; Zechariah rnrnActually in Isaiah chapter 14:12-16, satan says I WILL 5 times!rnrnOne of satans other names is: DESTROYER.rnrnThere is the Will Of God. God gave FREE WILL to Adam and Eve.rnrn But there is another will operating that is not a part of Gods purpose for earth or mankind. I think when satan was kicked out of Heaven, he retained his WILL.rnrnDon't blame God for the bad things that happen to you and others. We have Jesus now. I look at Job and he was a righteous man. Keep yourself & family soaked in prayer! Be alert

RC that is the best explanation I have ever heard of repentance. rnwell done. Mark 1:15 - .... Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,......And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. rnMark 6:12 - And they 12 apostles went out, and preached that men should repent. rnJesus speaking in Luke 13:3 - I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

There is no discrepancy in God's Word. In regard to God's repenting because He created man in earth was not because of God sinning as man does. God cannot sin. Repentance is being sorrowful in your heart for human sin (disobeying God). God was sorrowful for His creation, not GOD sinning. Thank God, Jesus paid the price for OUR sin...He was without sin....God loved us (creation) enough to make way to be with Him through the Cross and Blood of His pure Son. Today repent for your sin, ask Jesus to save you, believe in your heart He died and rose again and confess Him as your Lord and Savior. Saved by grace..a gift from God...God with us..Thank You Lord Jesus!!!

No on can disappoint God. He knew what would take place. He hates sin, and that was what grieved him.

fabian's comment on 2014-02-20 00:28:47:

how disappointed was God with man that it grieved His heart that He was sorry for creating us i can only shudder at how He feels right now with all that is going on in the world

I am deeply stirred at the thought of Almighty God, Creator of everything, being grieved in His heart (as only a Lover can be). How grieved, then, must He be today; with every part of the world filled, again, with ever-increasing violence. I can only say, Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!

BUT in Numbers 23:19 It says .

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:"

It seems like a Discrepancy ?
