Why does God "regret" that he created humanity, and why, starting in Genesis 12, does he apparently become some what reconciled to human misbehavior, undertaking a new approach to dealing with humanity?

You need to read the rest of that bible verse .It sayes He regreted making humanity because every inclination of their heart was evil[this was before the flood]Yes God does have feelings and when his creation turns on him and murders,rapes etc,etc He doesnt like it.I suppose some people would want to believe that no matter how evil and wicked people are[hitler,charlesmanson,] they that everyone gets a free pass to heaven and God is like a ticket machine giving out passes.God does love us and wishes no one to perish but the only way is through Jesus.

Exodus 32:14 And Jehovah began to feel regret over the evil that he had spoken of doing to the people.
1 Samuel 15: 11 "I do regret that I have caused Saul to reign as king, because he has turned back from following me, and my words he has not carried out."
Genesis 6: 6 And Jehovah felt regrets that he had made men in the earth, and he felt hurt at his heart.
We were created in his image, we are imperfect and so our emotions are imperfect. We feel regrets over what we have said, or when things don't turn out as we have planed. Jehovah God planed for man to be happy, perfect, and to live forever. It pained him deeply that man chose to rebel, and go against him. Our actions forced God into a situation where he had to act in a destructive way. He did not regret that he had good intentions in creating us, but he regretted that things turned out the way they did. If he had not created us then the problems he was forced to correct and the actions he has to take in correcting the situation would never have accrued. God regretted that he appointed Saul as king. At the time Saul was a good choice, only latter after Saul became unfaithful, did God say he regretted his decision to appoint him in the first place. Goes against predestination, and that God has foreknowledge of everything. If we have a rebellious child who turns out to be a criminal, and a worthless piece of trash, don't we regret ever having him? We may still love him and do what we can to help, but still we regret that things turned out so badly.

The creator was sorry that he made man and repented for wiping him out with a flood because the creation was flawed in the image of the creator. After this only eight decent humans were left but the first thing Noah did after the flood was to get drunk, and one of his kids was naughty too. So, the creator god couldn't get it right because he himself was imperfect. Well he tried to fix up the mess but what he made is what he made and it's imperfect and that's just the way it is.

He regrets?
Lo!
Did he say that?
Now, look - Men wrote the Genesis. God didn't.
Men made up stuff like that, so that the Men who created such stuff would have an upper hand over the Believers.
Men say that the God regrets.
Hmm.

God created foodstuff. He gaves us meals grown interior the floor. AKA nuts, culmination, greens. And the only reason human beings do use their microwave to nuke foodstuff is via fact this is less costly, worry-free and speedy. i do no longer understand in case you have observed yet all and sundry is so lazy, this is disgusting. So till now you circulate and bash on God, why do no longer you recognize that flowers are organic and God created them for existence to consume and that without that, human beings could have not survived very long till now they began ingesting animals and storing them, then prepackaging.

It is our humanity that does not allow us to "walk in his image". We sin for our humanity.
Knowing we can not get past this, he enter convents with men to safe our soul.
According to the Testament of Judas Jesus says
“This is why God ordered Michael to give the spirits of people to them as a loan, so that they might offer service, but the Great One ordered Gabriel to grant spirits to the great generation with no ruler over it—that is, the spirit and the soul. Therefore, the
[rest] of the souls [54] [—one line missing—].
Maybe he never regretted any of it. Our spirit will always be apart of him, but it is up to us to decide the fate of our soul. But like the testament, keywords are missing ands we will always be seeking the answers to the parts that are missing.

If you read the bible,written by man, we failed to make him happy because we were "just" sinful which god hates. He supposedly created us, and on the other hand send us packing to a place no human being would even dream of. for all eternity.That really peeves me I can't love a god like that....

In the Bible, God regrets He made man. In the Quran, God does not repent or regret.
