I used to wonder the same things.
If god were truly omniscient, why would god's behavior suddenly change after the flood, thereby implying a lesson learned? Wouldn't a truly omniscient god already understand what it means to be human-why was christ necessary?
But then i realized that if one is going to go out of one's way to believe in an all powerful deity, all inconsistencies can and will be written off as just part of the grand scheme of things. Perhaps our logic is different from the logic of a deity. After all, the logic of our human existence very likely has little or no overlap with the logic involved with creating and ruling the universe(if the role of god can be summed up as such).
To put it simply-nobody can know for certain so find something that makes sense to you to explain it.
