God's "regret" in Genesis 6 and 1 Samuel 15 is addressed in Mike's dedicated video; open theism is a problematic response to this

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 2) 00:59:26 – 01:00:27

Q from Floatydoc about how God, who knows all things, can make decisions he later regrets (Gen 6; 1 Sam 15).

Mike defers to his existing video titled something like "Why God Repents and Changes His Mind." He flags that open theists use these passages to argue God only knows what could happen, not what will happen (God lacks foreknowledge of future contingents). Mike views open theism as a seriously problematic theology. He handles the question by referral rather than re-explaining here.
