Summary
“Can God really regret His decisions?” This episode explores the intriguing question of divine regret as we examine 1 Samuel 15:11, where God expresses regret over Saul’s kingship. Additionally, we delve into the parallels between Eve and Mary, the reasons behind God’s decree on human lifespan, and the relationship between praying to saints and the Body of Christ.
