How Can God Have Regrets?

On today’s show we discuss Genesis 6:7 and what this passage means when God says that He regretted making man. How are we to properly understand the word ‘regret’ when speaking of God? 

Genesis 6:5-7 
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
