Bible Question: what did God mean when he said that he regrets making Saul king. onewaytriple7 |
Bible Answer: I can only surmise it was the same kind of regret indicated just before he destroyed the world by water and saved only Noah and his family. You're probably alluding to the seeming contradiction: if God did it then why would he regret doing it if He truly is God. That's a mystery. But notice we have the same problem. We humans bring children into this world and sometimes we regret it. Like my dad says, our children can bring us great joy and sometimes they can bring about grievous amount of pain and sadness. This too will probably be one of those questions we'll all be anxious to ask God upon being seated at the throne of God in heaven. Hope to see ya there. |
