1 | Gen 6:7 and Num 23:19 contradictory? | Gen 6:7 | Makarios | 9231 | ||
Risen, Again, thanks for the website, but after viewing the website, I have not found an answer to my orginal question. Numbers 23:19 states (NASB), 'God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?' Is there a contradiction between this verse (Genesis 6:7) and Numbers 23:19? Thanks in advance, Nolan! |

Nolan, the closest I can get to answer you is this from the International Bible Commentary - Scripture sometimes speaks of God changing his mind (English versions say repenting) but this is God's unmovedness while others move and change. The divine finger ever points to the same spot but man has moved from it to the opposite pole. | ||||||

Thank you prayon for trying to answer this question! You are absolutely right- God does not change, it is man who changes.. And this may be the reason why the Bible states that God said that He "was sorry" that He made humans. He knew the potential that humans had for evil, but never does He 'repent' in the sense of what we understand the word 'repent' to mean.. God never changes. Your thoughts are always welcome, prayon!
