I agree with what is being discussed here. When we come to earth, we are immediately immersed in the world which Satan has created, full of laws-dos and don'ts. Our minds become trained in the way of thinking that laws rule the universe. Even the Church is laden with laws, and rightfully so, as it deals with men of the world. We are used to rules with consequences, good or bad. We even receive our CE by obedience to principles which we have learned to strictly adhere to.
However, in eternity, I am aware of only two rules or laws which determine everything else: 1. Agency-freedom to be or not be. 2. Love, which "compels" all dominion. In other words, God's dominion flows unto him without compulsory means.In fact, we exercised our agency to come here and become subjected to the physical laws.
Repentance. Does God repent? Yes, if we can agree to define repentance as progression. God is constantly progressing as he helps us and all creation to progress. However I am not in a position to know whether he repents of transgressions. I think we can all agree that he is without sin.
