[color=darkblue:25335e2668][b:25335e2668]Genesis 6:
5. Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
This passage always freaks me out. Is it mistranslated or what? I can't see our sovereign Lord being surprised at our wickedness or regretting that he made us. He foreknew this surely. So what does this passage mean.[/b:25335e2668][/color:25335e2668]
