The Bible says ‘God repented.’ Doesn’t that show He is capable of sin?
Question:
"The Bible says ‘God repented.’ Doesn’t that show He
is capable of sin?"
Answer:
Repent" means "to have a change of mind." When the Bible tells
sinners to repent, it means to change their direction, to turn from their sins.
God’s "repenting" is when He turns away from His fierce anger toward
sinners. He warns men of the consequences of their disobedience. If they repent
(turn from their sins), He will "repent" by not pouring out His
promised wrath on them. For instance, Jonah
3:8, 9 says, "Let them turn every one from his evil way...Who can tell
if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish
not?"
