Bible Note: 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!
