If you interpret the OT by the NT, it suggests it. Otherwise how did God repent from creating the human race? He destroyed it.Could you please give an instance where the Bible states this?

I learned most of what I know from Presbyterians. So your comment baffles me.I am not quite sure what you are talking about. I would ask kindly that you please clarify.
I would also ask if you could give a specific verse showing that God was simplifying something too complex for the people of that time to comprehend.
So far you have shared you're interpretation and suggestions of what you are getting from the Bible. I would caution this is not good evidence for making claims about the nature of God.
The NT contradicts the OT unless you go by the NT and count the humanized portrayal of God in the OT as an anthropomorphism.Could you please give an instance where the Bible states this?
.I can't speak for God but I can speak for myself. Yes, God has given me free will!
Deut. 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
This is a pleas to follow God. It most certainly determined their salvation.
The sacrificial system of the law is where Israels salvation was found. If they followed God they would follow this law.
So when the gospel is heard and the Holy Spirit reaches in the heart to convict of sin, He can't make you understand what you just heard and felt?The lost cannot please God nor can they understand spiritual things. (Romans 8:7-8; 1 Cor. 2:14) ... Sorry.
Yes that is what He does and when he does do that you've been regenerated. The spiritual ears and eyes have to be opened, the enmity must be destroyed, the heart of stone must be removed and replaced with a receptive heart of flesh that can love God. Remember, Jesus was very clear when he told Nicodemus that you cant SEE the kingdom of God unless you've been born again. You have to have spiritual eyes to see the kingdom of God and when he grants you that ability You will Never Reject Christ.So when the gospel is heard and the Holy Spirit reaches in the heart to convict of sin, He can't make you understand what you just heard and felt?

In essence, we are free to follow the dictates of our nature. And even then what we do, good or bad IS God's will and for his glory. I always ask that I glorify God in his mercy and not in his wrath.
His nature determines his will. No brain no nature.He did use His brain ..
Sinners are enslaved to sin. A saved will is enslaved to Christ but not perfect until the resurrection.but you said we have no free will.. or is this not the same person who said James disproved free will?

humanized portrayal of God in the OT as an anthropomorphism.
The OT believers expected a millennial kingdom on earth. This contradicted Jesus' teaching of a spiritual kingdom only.In what way does the New Testament contradict the Old Testament? To my understanding they go hand in hand. Could you give an example?
Yet the new testament is literally God becoming Human to go through what we have to go through. Do you not remember he was tempted by Satan just as we are if not worse?
And the fact that he was tempted shows that he had the capability to choose. When he was on the cross he could have chose as he said, to make the very rocks rise up to protect him, but he didn't. He choose to suffer, to show us that he loves us. There is no greater love than one who dies for their friends.
