@suzianne saidGod wanting to wipe out the Hebrew nation and then changing his mind by letting them all wander in the wilderness till they all died of natural causes I don't think is changing God's mind. Letting Ahab live after humbling himself before God instead of killing him is not really changing His mind either. Ahab simply conformed to God on some level. And regretting having created sinful man is not really changing your mind either.
I wondered slightly about that.
But again, if God is unchanging, how is it that he can, and does, change his mind? There are many examples of this. He even regretted the Flood.
Those examples show God achieves his goal in the end, and yes, although God may have been angered by the sinfulness of man before the Great Flood, I don't think that the term "regret" implies he would not have not made man had he known. Of course he knew.
