Hey, Jeremiah 3:1 doesn't say that!

You forgot the "2" at the end of the title. It's Jeremiah 3:12.

There are plenty more where that came from.

Re: "For I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger forever." -Jeremiah 3:1
Uh, what's the point of this thread? You posted a verse from the bible. Let's not forget that that's a very silly thing, you've gotta put it into context with all the other stuff the author wrote and think about what he meant. AND, stories were lumped together and forged, edited, lost, translated poorly, so, really, it's just silly to think that God actually wrote this. Things like these are just people's views on god that they add into the Bible and stuff.
BTW, I was looking through all the threads Jackketch has posted here trying to find one that he supposedly wrote about Jesus making blow-job jokes. I found nothing, Jackketch, give me a link!

I thought it was obvious that he was pointing out a contradiction.

Re: "For I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger forever." -Jeremiah 3:1
It's funny how people humanise their Gods to be just like them, jealous, angry or compassionate. All very human emotions. I don't believe that a true God would ever work on the human level.
I would concieve of a perfect being to be beyond such petty trivialities.. even if anger is only used a descriptive/anthropomorphical word. Then again, the Bible says we were created in God's image... I wonder to what extent?
I might contend that Man created god in his own image. Or, the conception of what constitutes 'God' is developed over time as the ultimate ideal. This ultimate ideal differing between cultures, and even differing between individuals.
This might explain the discrepancy between the two verses. Two individuals, each with different conceptionsof God. Each speaking for him.
Were I a Christian, I would believe that the Bible is an inherently flawed book. All things are distorted and changing with time. God revealed his revelation to man, man put it in a book and even from the time the original author began to put ink to paper, it began to be warped. Over time, it warped greatly from God's original message and got put together by a bunch of humans as God's supposed word.
Believing that, I suppose would make me a very weak Christian, probably more of a deist than anything.
Anyway, perhaps this is also one explanationof the stark contrast between the God of the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament.
