The god of the Bible imperfect?

    Does the Bible present God as an imperfect being who makes mistakes?
    Genisis 6:6 "And Jehovah felt regrets that he had made men in the earth"
    2 Sam 15:10,11 "The word of jehovah now came to Samuel saying, "I do regret that I have caused Saul to reign as King.."

    Now the society tries to dismiss these verses by saying he regrets not his actions in causing these things but the actions of the people involved.
    But the scriptures cleary show god expressing regrets at what HE has done.
    He made an error of judgement.Therfore is imperfect or incapable of always being right.
    What do you think?

    Hi Sleepy,
    When I look at the universe that I understand I can see that it seems to work automatically according to Gods plan or purpose, you know inanimate matter. I am about as dumb as the dumbest when it comes to science, so please people, don’t debate me.
    But it seems to me that the creation that was given free will sometimes decides to do things differently than what was planned by God for them.
    I think I understand the statements in the Bible that said that Jehovah felt regret at some of the things that man does. He felt regret at some of their decisions that conflict with his purpose for them. When man make decisions that does not go along with His will for them, things does not turn out right. But when they do things according to His will man fairs better.
    Just my opinion.
