201. Is the argument being made that God does not make mistakes?
He seems to admit to having made mistakes in the bible. Here are some examples of God reconsidering his actions:

Gen.6:6 "And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."
Ex.32:14 "And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people."
Dt.32:36 "For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants.
1 Sam.15:11 "It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king."
1 Sam.15:35 "The Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel."
2 Sam.24:16 "The Lord repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, it is enough: stay now thine hand."
1 Chr.21:15 "The Lord beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand."
Jer.15:6 "I am weary of repenting."
Jer.18:8 "I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them."
Jer.26:3 "That I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them."
Jer.26:13 "The Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you."
Jer.26:19 "The Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them."
Jer.42:10 "For I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you."
Am.7:3,6 "The Lord repented for this."
Jon.3:10 "God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them."

God certainly seems to be capable of making errors. Perhaps the claim that god is omniscient is misplaced.
