Q18: Have you ever made mistakes?

Sure have for me, the writer, but I think you mean has God made any.

Well I cannot truthfully speak for Him, but I know one part where He was very sorry for what had happened in men.

In Exodus God got very angry and was about to kill many of His people. He said to Moses: “I have seen these people and they are a stiff-necked people.” “Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and destroy them.” (Exodus 32:1-33). WOW! Look out, God is very angry.

Moses talked God out of killing them (some feat indeed) and none of them got zapped.

Before that the Bible records that, “When the Lord God saw the extent of human wickedness and that the trend and direction of men’s lives were only towards evil, He was sorry that He had made them. It broke His heart.”  (Genesis 6:5-6). He did give us a choice to do right or wrong. He killed them all except Noah and his family. It is all in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8. Thinking on that, I wonder what God thinks of us humans today?

Have you seen movies about Noah, or books, seems everyone knows the story! There are something like 400 similar stories in historical cultural records: could they all have passed down this same story?
