What do you think about this verse in the bible?

[Esteban1997]

In Genesis 6, God sees that humanity has become corrupt and had fallen into great wickedness (Gen. 6:5). Genesis 6:6 reports that “The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart” (NASV). A similar sort of example is found in 1 Samuel 15:11 when God says: “I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not carried out My commands.” Did God not know that humanity would become so sinful before He created humans? Did God not know what Saul would do when He made Saul king?

This honestly reminds me of how God is a first cause with us being a secondary cause. Somewhat purposefully out of his control, gives a great answer to the problem of evil

Tales from the looksmax.org bible study tho. Most ppl on here are nihilistic athiests.

It’s a metaphor/warning for when societies become decadent and unstable before invariably collapsing. So many civilizations have come and gone and the sages who wrote the Bible were good at noticing these patterns and warning people about the consequences of such behavior in these religious books.

The great sin in the garden of Eden was sexual intercourse

Seems like you're looking at it in a secularist perspective. OP is asking about it theologically.

A verse claiming that God Himself, The All Knowing and All Powerful somehow regrets and is a weak creature, as is a constant narrative in the Bible like when God wrestles with Jacob (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and loses

Clearly a text manipulated by Shaytan as Islam claims happened with the Old and New Testament, to make God look bad

Same happens constantly with the different prophets like David and Lot and Job (Peace and Blessings be upon them) and so on, the Bible is constantly insulting and downgrading them, and accussing them of doing the worst possible crimes.

Reminds me of the verse in which the Bible says that God rested the 7th day as if he was a weak creature, but the Qur'an corrects it stating (Interpretation of the meaning): "And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six ayaam (Days, stages), and there touched Us no weariness."

“We”? Is this to say that Islam affirms the trinity?

No. Allah refers to Himself as "We" several times

"We" and "Us" is a way that royalty refer to themselves as a sign of superiority and respect. One of the names of Allah is Al Malik (The King).

If you realize the english people say "Your majesty" and terms like that. It's a way of speaking. In spanish "Su Majestad", and so on

“Your” is singular though. “We” is always referring to two or more. That just doesn’t make sense any way you put it.

My explanation is the only accurate one

It is a feature of literary style in Arabic that a person may refer to himself by the pronoun nahnu, ‘We’, for respect or glorification. It exists also in different languages and is not used as a plural

Royal we - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Also there is no way to interpret it as trinitarian since Islam is completely against that concept.

Allah says in different verses (interpretation of the meanings): “And your god is One God, there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful” [al-Baqarah 2:163] and “Say: He is Allah, the One” [al-Ikhlas 112:1]

Did God not know

I’m not a Christian, but isn’t this blasphemy?

 

[Vermilioncore]

God felt sorry that he had made us because all we do is bad. So, although he saw this coming, it all is to glorify himself. Of course the answers for all that God does aren’t there. There’s the topic of “gods overarching goal” — the “why’s” of creation, but the only thing we can know is God’s purpose was to create a world in which His glory could be manifest in all its fullness. The glory of God is the overarching goal of creation. In fact, it is the overarching goal of everything He does.

No

I thought omniscience was a thing in christianity. There seem to be a lot of verses that support that, I may be wrong though. What’s your interpretation?
