Week three of our focus: stranger things in Scripture. The Bible records a couple of events that God Himself regrets. How is it possible for the all-knowing God of the Bible to experience and express regret? ~

Stranger Things—God's Regret
Review: strange Nephilim of Genesis 6
Intro: he passed away to no one's regret
Story: the anointing and failure of king Saul
Scripture: 1Samuel 15.10-11 & 34-35
Strange Scripture: God regrets making Saul king
Problem: did God not know Saul would go bad?
Principle: impossible to know God exactly as He is
Hope: try this theological thought experiment
