Can a perfect being feel Regret?

[OddBeMe]

Yes

No

Dont know

[Daniela1982]

Sure, God regretted creating man and disposed of them with a flood because they were all so evil. Looks like we are going back to the days of Noah today. These heat waves are just a taste of which is coming from down the blvd.

[OddBeMe]

Good point. His first experiment went downhill fast.

[Blackcosmo]

No if you're perfect you feel no such emotion as regret. Also no one is perfect except god (in my belief).

[OddBeMe]

So a god can't have regret? He can't do something?

[Blackcosmo]

Us humans have a choice of what we choose to do. We have free will and a sense of right and wrong.

[OddBeMe]

Gods dont have choices?

[Blackcosmo]

He does and he makes them when he wants. But since he's perfect he doesn't make the wrong choices.

[dynamicyandere]

I think a perfect being will be perfectly lucid and intentional will every single decision that they make. Even if a decision they made had some bad consequences, it was probably still the best decision they could make with the limited choices they had at the time. If they were to turn back time, they would make the same decisions because any other decision would have resulted in a worse outcome. So, I don’t think they would feel regret because they would know that they have already made the best decisions possible to produce the best outcome possible and things have already turned out the best that things could possibly be. They will not feel regret because they know in their bones that they have made the right decisions.

There's 20 some before me. So if I seem repetitious, that is what it be. A perfect being is perfect is it not? Put a dip in your lip. Buy multiple guns. Stop pissing and moaning. Move into a RED area while not enjoying your lefty ways. Come to Butt Head. Enjoy it. Fuck all. Like it. Then tell me how you intend to correct LEFTY ways in LEFTY run shitholes. Do it. Whilst Monday quarterbacking from from your Lazy Y Boy chair. Tell me, and everyone how to do it. Tell us all how Libs well save the day.

Ofc duh
Nobody's perfect..
And feel regret is normal, this is the life we live to make choices.. n we can find ways to cope w these feelings n even turn them into our opportunities for growth.. and this is what make us to be getting better person than before, not perfect but almost

[Guy13]

A perfect being will also be able to recognize and properly react to pain, happy, and sad appropriately. Perfect is perfect although “being” participating in imperfectness is not possible.
You obviously have an Entity in mind and Standards therein?

[Miristheiss]

"The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled."

Gen 6: 5-6

[jshm2]

There is nothing to "regret" if he's a perfect being.

It's as daft as asking "where do the survivors get buried?"

"Regret" would entail mistakes and emotions, thus flaws that would mean it's not perfect.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. The Bible teaches God can and has feeling regret but not regret in the sense humans feel as "shouldn't done this or that" but rather feeling grieved.

The Bible says God felt regret over King Saul and when He created mankind in Genesis right before He flooded the earth.

[Wade12345]

The Bible claims God "Repented Himself" after he made man on the Earth.

That's right, The Bible says God is the biggest failure in history, and he admitted making humans was a mistake.

[Monah4billion]

Where in the Bible was it stated that God is the biggest failure I'm history? And that his creation of man whom he prepared heaven for was a mistake?

[Wade12345]

@Monah4billion Genesis Chapter 6 verse 5 I think.

[John_Doesnt]

I feel regret that I'm too perfect and too sexy for my shirt.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

There's no such thing as a perfect "being"

[Johnagain]

Hmm... If regret is part of the whole experience of a perfect being, then yes.
But in the yin-yang aspect of it, there had better be something else that counters it, to balance it out.

[Snsl153]

No, because a being that was perfect wouldn't make mistakes.

[libsaretards]

No. If they are perfect, it means they make no mistakes. Regret is a reaction to mistakes made. There would be no mistake to trigger regret.

[Stoner710]

Even those who are perfect have regrets they can’t touch more people

[_Just_A_girl_]

God did when he saw people do evil and wiped them with a flood.

[Anonymous]

If there was such a thing as a perfect being, no, I don't think it could feel regret.

[Anonymous]

Regret isn't a bad thing necessarily so yes. If they live in a perfect world, they'll never need to though.

[Pudsmucker]

We will have to ask Jesus Christ if he's ever had regret.

[Juxtapose]

A perfect being would be so alien to us that they would seem like a complete monster.

[Anonymous]

Everyone feels regret just another thing that comes with the perk of being alive.

[grega239]

A perfect being would have nothing to regret

[Sabretooth]

the bible says that God had regret for creating us.

[Monah4billion]

Where in the Bible was it stated that God wished he never created us?

[Anonymous]

I assume perfect beings don't do regretful things.

[Anonymous]

Anybody can feel regret, because no one is perfect.

[JC1981]

No such thing as perfect

[Fuentes]

Humans are their regret

[msc545]

Ask the perfect being

[WelcomeToTheSuck]

Of course. Achilles and Patroclus

[OddBeMe]

Were they perfect though?

Also, if you're gonna dip a baby in “armor water” do a second coat… lol.

[WelcomeToTheSuck]

Achilles was perfect in the sense that he was know and loved by almost everyone. He was a hero.

[OddBeMe]

Is that perfect though? Trojans didn't love him.

[WelcomeToTheSuck]

Being almost immortal and regarded as a hero is as perfect as it gets.

[OddBeMe]

For humans. Perfect being usually means god,

[strateguy632]

yess

[slatyb]

Can unicorns fly?

[xJayleenx]

No one is perfect
