NAS Genesis 6:6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
Exodus 32:14
So the LORD changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.
God keeps His promises:
NAS Numbers 23:19 "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?
NAS 1 Samuel 15:11 "I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not carried out My commands." And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all night.
Who ever said that God can't change His mind? Is that not one reason we pray, to change things?

Reasoning and thinking is a human characteristic. Reasoning and thinking is why humans have so many problems. Not that they are not useful but so much reasoning and thinking is done erroneouslly and without discipline. The only certainty about God is that God is unknowable. Thus you can create him to be any way you want. Anyone that agrees or disagrees with your creation of God is just as correct or wrong as you are.

A man changes his mind because he is not sure of what is right or wrong - God doesn't because He knows the correct answer - period! God is omnicient, and this means He is all-knowledge and knows everything there is to know.

Christan Answer: God is right every time. Why would his need to change he decision?
Atheist Answer: All living creatures sometimes make the choice to stay with one decision, even if it means death.
Also, why do you need to know this? If you do not believe in God, why critisize what small discrepancies that you find? It's not going to convert anybody, if you can even call it that.

IF God cannot change his mind it's because he doesn't want to do so. God exists in many forms. He exists in some people's minds and doesn't exist in other people's. I believe that you fall in the later catagory.

God can reason but because he is always righteous and just, his standards are perfect and don't need to be changed. God is a god of faithfulness.(James 1:17)God’s righteous standards remain constant, stable, unchanging, free from fluctuation. (Mal 3:6;)No circumstance can cause him to change his mind about these, to turn from them, or to abandon them. However, the attitude and reactions of his intelligent creatures toward those perfect standards and toward God’s application of them can be good or bad. If good, this is pleasing to God; if bad, it causes regret. Moreover, the creature’s attitude can change from good to bad or bad to good, and since God does not change his standards to accommodate them, his pleasure (and accompanying blessings) can accordingly change to regret (and accompanying discipline or punishment) or vice versa. His judgments and decisions, then, are totally free from caprice, fickleness, unreliability, or error; hence he is free from all erratic or eccentric conduct.—Eze 18:21-30; 33:7-20.A potter may begin to make one type of vessel and then change to another style if the vessel is “spoiled by the potter’s hand.” (Jer 18:3, 4) By this example God illustrates, not that he is like a human potter in ‘spoiling by his hand,’ but rather, that he has divine authority over mankind, authority to adjust his dealings with them according to the way they respond or fail to respond to his righteousness and mercy. (Compare Isa 45:9; Ro 9:19-21.) He can thus “feel regret over the calamity that [he] had thought to execute” upon a nation, or “feel regret over the good that [he] said to [himself] to do for its good,” all depending upon the reaction of the nation to his prior dealings with it. (Jer 18:5-10) Thus, it is not that the Great Potter, God, errs, but rather, that the human “clay” undergoes a “metamorphosis” (change of form or composition) as to its heart condition, producing regret, or a change of feeling, on Gods part.

He said He DOESN't: His mind is already made up. His will (for individuals and circumstances) may change, but He will always value righteouesness, be Holy, and keep His principles. similar to how you don't plan on ever becoming a Christian.

allow me to answer with a question...if you open your test booklet and you discover that you already know all the answers, do you change them in order to show your ability to reason? neither does God-the correct answer needs no changing
