When God is said to be repented of making us, it means he was disappointed in us as a Father would be when their child makes a mistake. I believe God made us knowing full well we would disobey him, but like a loving Father he must discipline his children to teach them the folly of their ways of sin. He didn't condemn us, in fact he laid out his perfect plan to save us even when we had no right of being saved, he ultimately laid down his own life to save us knowing full well that as humans we are going to sin regardless and we aren't perfect.

He gave us the ultimate gift of everlasting life with Him by our side even though we don't deserve it. We are like rebellious, stubborn children who still receive Christmas gifts simply out of unconditional love.

That's how I see it, anyway.

Kek. Beautiful photo, but that finger is distracting.

I did not mention regret. You can be disappointed without being regretful.

So how do you intepret it then?

So not far off from my interpretation.

In his “Exposition of the Bible” John Gill explained that God never changes his mind or alters his purposes, “though he sometimes changes the course and dispensations of his providence.” God knew of the resistance and the downfall of man before He created man. His original purpose as stated in Genesis 2:15 was for Adam and Eve was to live in the garden, cultivate it, and be prosperous.

However, as is the case in all the dispensational periods, God knew man would rebel against Him. God’s repentance was not that he was surprised or should not have made man, but that the providence of man had to change because of the introduction of sin.
