So the LORD changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had threatened to bring on his people
But did King Hezekiah and the people kill him for saying this? No, they turned from their sins and worshiped the LORD. They begged him for mercy. Then the LORD changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had pronounced against them. So we are about to do ourselves great harm.”

https://www.blueletterbible.org/assets/images/copyChkboxOff.gif Jon 3:10

When God saw what they had done and how they had put a stop to their evil ways, he changed his mind and did not carry out the destruction he had threatened.
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
I know God is all knowing and He changes not but it seems that we have free will. When God's people turn away from sin and repent God responds.

Shalom BPPLEE,

Welcome to Worthy Christian Forums. Please feel free to browse around and get to know everyone. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.  As soon as you post a few times and after they are approved, it'll tell us that you are "real" person and not a "bot", you'll be free to post throughout our forums and join our chat rooms.  Forgive us for this minor inconvenience, however, we've had issues in the past with Spammers as well as those who wish to post obscene photos and messages!

Currently, if you just began at Worthy, you are in "Newbie" Status.  Simply post a single post, as soon as it's approved, you'll be out of Newbie status and then you'll be able to edit your profile, as well as upload a profile picture.

You may be interested in reading how WCF functions, and how the forums are set up, and other neat tricks to the forums.  Read our insights into WCF.

Let me share a little bit of my vision for the ministry in a parable.

Let's say I'm throwing a big party and am inviting the world to the party (the forums) and I want everyone to have a great time, eating (reading through posts being fed), drinking (being encouraged to walk in His Word), and having fellowship with one another.  In Israel, we have Shabbat meals -- and whenever you have 2 Jews -- you have 3 opinions -- it's GREAT to be opinionated.  I encourage discussions ... but during our Shabbat meals ... we never ever get to the point in disagreements whereby food is being tossed and seriously yelling takes place!  And if someone comes into the meal ... and starts throwing food ... and yells at everyone -- what do you suppose the head of the Shabbat meal will do?  He'll escort those causing problems out of the house!  Why?  Because the whole reason for the gathering was to learn from one another ... to have a great time of fellowship!  

Some people like to constantly throw food and yell ... they won't last on Worthy ... because they missed the point of the party ... it's a prequel to the true party -- the Lamb's Supper!  

All I'm trying to provide is a place to allow true fellowship ... and discussions in love ... in the hopes it will be a catalyst for true REVIVAL based on REPENTANCE!

I hope you have a blessed time at Worthy!

Please use the REPORT POST feature (which can be found at the top right of all posts) any posts that you believe should be reviewed!  We strive to have ALL members abide by our Terms of Service.

While this message is "automated", please know that if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me off a private message which can be found at the top right to the left of your name.

Your brother in the Lord with much agape love,

George

Welcome to Worthy, BPPLEE.   Obviously, God has changed His mind.  This happens most often when people change their minds about God and about sin.  That is what it means to repent.

God Repented, is in the Bible. He changed His Mind.

I don’t think he changes his mind.  I think that if anything it’s that he’s forgiving.  The changing his mind probably means that he chooses not to do what he is capable of doing whenever we sin.  I don’t believe he repents.  He’s perfect.  He feels sorrow whenever we sin.  It grieves him, so the repenting probably represents his sadness due to us sinning...my opinion.

God changing his mind is a way of telling us He has a free will and is unbounded.

Blessings BPPLEE

 Now we are in a proper discussion Forum so I'm happy to join in....

 Great Topic,Lets be teminded slso that God Does set " conditions" ... For example Ninevah was going to be destroyed and it seemed that was inevitable because if their wicked ways but " if" they did x.... This we saw with Sodom& Gemmorah too, if there were x good people then the 2 cities would be spared

When I get to my computer I"ll come back because I'm already getting frazzled typing on my phone.... Sorry bout that- :wub:

With love in Christ, Kwik
