Can God do wrong? Is everything God does right simply because he’s God or can God do wrong and still be perfect?

Gods done a lot of wrong stuff in His day, killed innocents, slaughtered the helpless, brought suffering on those who didn’t deserve it and just about anything else you can think of. If I did this I would be an abject sinner and unquestionably wrong. God does it and its O.K. How does that work?

My understanding is that God can do wrong things and still not sin. God can do things that would be horrific if anyone else did them and still be perfect. That’s why we are called to be disciples of Christ, not God. Imitating God would get nasty but imitating God in the flesh makes a lot more sense. Jesus is the ultimate picture of what it means to be really human which is what we’re designed for. God on the other hand is not human and beyond our imitating. God maintains all the God qualities, powers and actions that are off limits to us. Jesus released all of those, came to earth, lived among us and teaches us what it means to be who we were designed to be.

What do you think?

hmmmmmm...Very interesting and brave point of view. I kind of always thought that even if I didn't agree with HIM, He is ultimate, so I must be wrong. God is unfathomable and it seems sometimes unreachable, so I agree with your stance that our grasping this life we are to live stems from our grasp of Jesus. How come you haven't written anything in so long?
We miss you,
