Did Noah Change God's Mind?

The story of Noah is one of the craziest stories in the Bible because it talks about how God actually regretted that he ever created us. He saw that people had become oversexualized, unable to control themselves, and how the thoughts of people were consistently and totally evil. Now, those are big accusations, but we can't say that our world is too different than what's described in Genesis 6. And not many of us like to picture God as angry or judgmental. But read the story for yourself, and what you're going to learn is about God's holiness. In the end, he determined to destroy humanity because we were ruining God's perfect creation. However, there's another beautiful thing that we learn about God through this story. It's that people who have faith in God, that God is good and who dedicate their lives to Him, earn his favor even so much as change the course of his judgment. Noah's faith and righteousness made God decide not only to save humanity, but also promise to never act this way again. An honorable life is a very powerful thing,
