Does God maybe regret having made this world and us?

Question

We must be such a burden to him all the time with our murders and adulteries and wars and the way we kill all the trees and wildlife that he put here. And not to mention that we are killing the entire planet.

Answer 1

"And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart." -- (Genesis 6:6)

Does that answer your question?

It was not so when he created us, however. "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good." (Genesis 1:31)

However, there is never any statement that he regretted creating the earth and universe; just us.

Noah's righteousness encouraged God to continue this little project. In the flood, he wiped out the wicked part so that righteousness could flourish. He will do that again at the time of the return of Jesus Christ.

Answer 2

Jehova did regret, but the Almighty God don't, even when the angels 'warn' Him.



As for murders, adulteries, wars, kill all the trees and wildlife, and killing the entire planet.

Murders, adulteries, and wars were commited by the minority, that's the reasons on why most of the of the population are still alive, know who they are, and are peaceful.

We are still alive, due that we didn't kill all the trees and wildlife plus the entire planet.

Things haven't gotten really bad, considering humans haven't been flooded by fire.

Answer 3

Yes, God did regret having created man, and sent a flood that wipe the human race off the face of the earth EXCEPT for the ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE FAITHFUL> Noah, his wife, Ham, Shem, Japheth, ( his 3 sons) and they each had a wife. ONLY 8 righteous people in the entire world, and I believe it is estimated there were thousands upon thousands on the earth at that time. This can be found in Genesis Chapters 6,7,8,9, and 10.

In Genesis Chapter 11 We find were God confused the languages of the people who were trying to build a tower (BABEL)
up to heaven. Thus we now have many different languages.

Yes, thank you God for being so LONGSUFFERING TO US!

Answer 4

I read a quotation somewhere... I think on the side of a Planned Parenthood building... that said that every newborn bay is a sign that God hasn't given up on us yet.

So I'd have to say no, God doesn't regret having made this world and us... yet.

Besides, maybe Mark Twain was right when he said the God created man because He was disappointed in the entertainment value of the monkey! Maybe we're all God's idea of a sit-com. If you look at us from that point of view, you have to admit that we're funny as hell!

Answer 5

absolutely not. There are so many good people on this planet and so much good activity. The problem quite simply is that we are constantly fed all the wicked negative news by the media ( which we need to know about ) but we should have a good news channel as well . Balance is needed !!

Answer 6

Mankind are advancing on earth and having more powerful instruments to glorify the name of God. God constantly assists us to change our childish plays into monumental enterprises on building a better world. I believe that He is pleased with the efforts of His beloved chidren. The UN is working for peace, not for war.

Answer 7

I believe God does not exist. But if he does, he'd regret not so much in making this world, but certainly in creating human beings. If I were god and had the power to make all humans go extinct, I would use that power.

Answer 8

Uh.. yes. According to the Old Testament, G-d had some regrets and stated that he will not struggle with man forever. I believe that he is patient and gracious, but even G-d has his limits.

Answer 9

Never
He first thought about the world.
He loved it.
then He created it.

And this world one day soon will end because God didn't create this world to stay forever.

Answer 10

He's getting ready to set things right. The way He intended from the start.
