I wondered slightly about that.

But again, if God is unchanging, how is it that he can, and does, change his mind? There are many examples of this. He even regretted the Flood.
God wanting to wipe out the Hebrew nation and then changing his mind by letting them all wander in the wilderness till they all died of natural causes I don't think is changing God's mind. Letting Ahab live after humbling himself before God instead of killing him is not really changing His mind either. Ahab simply conformed to God on some level. And regretting having created sinful man is not really changing your mind either.

Those examples show God achieves his goal in the end, and yes, although God may have been angered by the sinfulness of man before the Great Flood, I don't think that the term "regret" implies he would not have not made man had he known. Of course he knew.

He always acts accordingly per His nature, along with the ability we have to do as we will places everything in flux as He is working all things together for the good for those that love Him.

He is always Good, Holy, Just, Righteous, Love without fail, He never is one without
the others. He isn't just good, He isn't just love, He is always who He is without fail.
You see Him throughout all of the scripture being Who He is. He is working out
saving as many of as possible, because evil and wickedness will not being going
forward from this life, and this life has only a short time left before it is done and
that forever! If you look at just one of these things about God and ignore all the
rest you will fail to understand, if you don't grasp His hate for evil and wickedness
you will not understand the danger of remaining in these.

Is Jesus being "who he is" showing "love without fail" "always good"...when he is in Hell personally overseeing the eternal torture of billions of the people he loved so much he died for them?

He is a Good, Holy, and Righteous God that will not over look sin. He never has and never will being consistent in His nature. Which is why God’s grace is so important, ignore is to neglect His great salvation to one’s own harm.

Never mind the church-speak furball; here is the question put to you. I'm looking for one of these claimed "honest answers" please...

Belittling me doesn’t change the Word of God or His Nature.
