And regret that He created humans in the first place? That doesn't sound like love to me.

Agreed. Nor does creating evil and things like cancer. Nor does killing innocent babies. Nor does sending people you "love" to eternal fire.
So the bible is wrong?That other stuff is the work of Satan though not the work of God.
Are you saying that a loving God would have ended his plans for us on the spot and started over? Wouldn't a loving God say, I cannot approve of how they are behaving, but they are worth my time and effort to save.?And regret that He created humans in the first place? That doesn't sound like love to me.
He didnt regret creating humans, he regretted humans who turned away from him and followed Lucifer. Humans were given the choice, and some just needed to be reminded about turning away from God.And regret that He created humans in the first place? That doesn't sound like love to me.
The bible says he created everything, he killed innocent babies and he sends people to hell.What makes you jump to that conclusion?
Hell is separation from God. It's the place you choose if you have no interest in God and don't wish to be around all that love and goodness. (By the way, Dante's Inferno is fiction, not scripture.)Better yet why does God send people to hell who don't worship Him or Her? The Bible doesn't say but my guess would be super egoism.
He put it off until there were only 8 actual humans left on earth. He saved humanity. Demon infested half-breeds called Nephilim, were what was on the earth. That includes animals. And they were nasty.And regret that He created humans in the first place? That doesn't sound like love to me.

In so many ways, God gives us the opportunity to better ourselves, as well. Isn't opportunity a great gift and blessing?

OP, how are you defining love?
Don't tell me what you think it isn't, I want to know what you think it is.Not by a God saying "I regret making you in the first place." As that was a sucker punch to me when I read it, but as I said before it was probably the translation as I was reading the NIV version.

Then I can respond to you accordingly.
For a start, this from a similar thread in this 'religion' subforum;
Try this on for size ...
If Gawd ~ Creative Intelligence ~ Intelligent Creator ~ whatever, is as portrayed in most religions = eternal; that means no Beginning nor any End.
Combine with you can't get Something from Nothing, then the Intelligent Creator had to make the universe/cosmos from substance of Itself. I use "It" because if the entity is eternal and not in need of reproduction, it doesn't need to have sexes, such as He and She.
Those two together mean that a Big Bang will eventually become a Big Collapse; which then becomes another Big Bang, then a Big Collapse, on and on, no beginnings nor any ends.
That means we humans would also be eternal since we are made from the substance of the Intelligent Creator. If we have souls, than they would be eternal. Reincarnating into new bodies each time as we progress through the physical phase(s) of our existence. Bodies being like another suit of clothes, only in this case another suit of 'meat'.
If not the above, then back to the quandary of what existed before this Universe was created and what exists after it is uncreated = gone ???
Yes, that is the ultimate form of love, being willing to die for someone else.Jesus paying the penalty for our sins on the cross even though He was perfectly innocent of any crime so we didn't have to die for them instead.
