To repent is to change direction including a change of mind. God has changed His mind multiple times throughout history, here are some examples:
1 Chronicles 21:15—God said that he would destroy Jerusalem, but then he relented.
2 Kings 10:1-6—King Hezekiah was told through an inspired prophet that he would not recover from sickness. But after Hezekiah pleaded with God, the Lord told him “I will add fifteen years to your life.”
Exodus 32:14—Because of Moses’ intercessory prayer, “the Lord changed his mind about the disaster he planned to bring on this people.”
Exodus 33:1-3, 14—In the light of Moses’ pleading, the Lord reversed his plan not to go with the Israelites into the promised land.
Deuteronomy 9:13-29—The Lord “intended to destroy” the Israelites, and was even ready to destroy Aaron. Moses’ 40-day intercession altered God’s intention.
1 Kings 21:21-29—The Lord says that he will bring disaster because of Ahab’s sins. But when Ahab repents, he says that he will not bring disaster.
2 Chronicles 12:5-8—The Lord was going to allow the Israelites to be conquered because of King Reheboam’s rebellion. The king and his officers repent, so the Lord changes his plan.
Jeremiah 26:2-3—The Lord tells Jeremiah to prophesy to Israel that they should repent, saying, “I may change my mind about the disaster that I intend to bring on [Israel] because of their evil doings.”
Ezekiel 4:9-15—God tells Ezekiel to act out a prophesy with human dung, but Ezekiel objects. God then allows Ezekiel to act it out with cow dung.
Amos 7:1-6—The Lord revealed two judgments and two times Amos intercedes. Twice the Scriptures say, “The Lord relented concerning this …”
Jonah 3:10—God “changed his mind” about the destruction he planned to carry out on Nineveh.
It's natural for a person who has been born again in the Spirit, experienced God's supernatural blessings and sees miracles to expect that they must understand the Bible at a very high level. However what I see is how people can be born again and experience God with completely different interpretations of the Bible. Catholics and Pentecostals alike that is. Yes
anyone who confesses Jesus as Lord. There's something about the heart that seems most important, not doctrines. Yet in saying that I believe searching for correct doctrine is very important because we can help to reveal Who God actually is, get rid of some of the false ideas about Him. Now just because we disagree does not mean I am of the flesh and you are of the Spirit, or vice versa. We just disagree. Simple as that. Now I have asked you questions that you either refuse to, or can not answer. I have answered all your questions. What you have done is resort to attacking me, and Greg who I've quoted, saying my arguments must be of the brain and not the Spirit. Can I not turn the tables and accuse you of the same thing? I believe our brains should be used in conjunction with the Spirit. We can be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
Now I'll ask another question that you haven't answered yet, did God plan the sinful nature? Is evil part of His perfect plan?
