It seems strange to me as a young Christian for a few reasons. When God wills the death of a man, he often strengthens the hand of their enemies, sometimes sends angels to cut them down, occassionaly he kills directly through terrible mira…

There is a curious statement by Paul in his Second Letter to the Corinthians:
2 Corinthians 12:21: "I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past…
Sorry, I know bible scriptures that mention God repenting, and other verses about God Never repenting has been brought up a number of times on this site in order to harmonize/reason how the said verses can be taken as a whole withOut contradicting each other:
Is there a contradiction between 1 Samuel 15:29 and 1 Samuel 15:35?
Numbers 23:19 Says God doesn’t repent, Exodus 32:14 Says He repented?
Does God have regret or not in 1st Samuel 15?
However, I wanted to bring in the use of literary devices.
1 Samuel 15:29 says that God neither lies nor repents since He is not a man.
(1 Samuel 15:29)
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. KJV, ©1769
And yet, in 1 Samuel 15:35, it says that God indeed repented (for making Saul king over Israel).
(1 Samuel 15:35)
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he
had made Saul king over Israel. KJV, ©1769
(Numbers 23:19 (KJV))
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he
spoken, and shall he not make it good?
(Exodus 32:14 (KJV))
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Could we say that the contradiction between the aforementioned could be associated with literary devices of hyperbole, figure of speech? In other words, for God to repent or to regret something to do with his actions is so disturbing to God Himself that is why Samuel says in 1 Samuel 15:29 that God “will not lie nor repent” ?
[KJV]2 Samuel 21:
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the…
I have not been to church in years. I recently went to a friend’s prayer meeting. While there, I was encouraged to read the following from the bible:

Now, to be clear, this question is not on whether YHWH is the only God that should be worshipped. That’s pretty simple. It is my belief that the Ancient Israelites were at least aware that they were commanded to pledge allegiance to one go…
