Is God capible of sin? (Earth, soul, creation, hell)

[dance-above]

Sin is a violation of " Gods Law " And his law was not a carefully thought out plan, it is who he is. It reveals him. His law is summed up in this -love your neighbor as yourself.
And if he is the sheperd of the sheep and one of the sheep starts killing the other sheep, what do you think he will do? Just stand by and let it happen?

[3.14]

the creator of a law will still be able to break it. only diffrence is that if god sins there is no hell for him to go to (or maby he alredy has gone to hell and thats why he isnt answering any prayers

friend starrazor,
Your question needs more clarity as to what you mean by SIN and whom do you call god.
If you know and understand these terms, kindly enlighten us as am sure the answere lies in the question itself.

We are told not to kill as deamed by the 10 commandments and yet look at what God did to Sodam and Gahmora, or all the people that missed the ark. God has shown his anger and wrath through out the bible.. are these not weaknesses that we face in our sinful nature? I dont want to hear God is allowed to be that way because he is God. I feel like that is a major cop out for those that cant explain things.

We are created in the image of God. Is it not impossible then that the sinful nature came from him also. Possibly traits from himself that he doesnt particularly like that he wanted us to choose not to have. I dont know the answer but I know how I am feeling about things. I know there are many things in the bible we cant explain but I dont believe we werent ment to try and find it out. I am interested in hearing what others might have to say about this topic. Thanks for reading.

i see allot of people saying that God breaks His own law and is thus a sinner, and to think that since He is loving God that would never send anyone to Hell is pure human reasoning and not scriptural. The bible says that returning to sin is like a dog returning to his own vomit, that is a detestable thing to picture but shows how much God hates sin. I would agree that in the old testament there are allot of very violent acts that would make anyone ask "why, for what reason did they have to die?", Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God eternal if is in Christ Jesus our Lord", we are all guilty of sin and are deserving of death. we only don't see it that way when we view this from our perspective because it comes so naturally to us. God doesn't want anyone to go to Hell but so often people dont want to look at their sin that they commit against God. Look at God and His glory, He does not sin nor is there any evil in Him, there is none like Him. He is called Judge, should anyone ever get away with a crime once they've been charged and stand before the Judge? the Judge would be unfair if even one person was not sentenced according to His Law. Jesus provided this substitution for us that
1.He might receive the glory
2.we would be saved from our sins
3.No one would have to go to hell
because He said "if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" He knows how we cannot save ourselves and will only produce evil, He came to pay that price so we can know Him, that is a Loving God.....He kept His commandment and showed His wonderful mercy all at once. so in conclusion to your ultimate question, no God does not sin by killing us, we transgressed and received the well deserving wrath. and for your other question of jealousy, when God is jealous it is usually when His children have followed after other gods, thus this is also not a sin for God because it is yet again transgression on our part. i hope this has been helpful.

Friends,
Friend Hema states:

No God is not capable of sin. In the physical universe there is the law of cause and effect (which I call karma), there are dualities, pleasure and pain, right and wrong. God is not limited to the physical universe and is not bound by these rules. God cannot be tempted by negativities which can result in sin. God is above all of this.

Personally the understanding differs as God and Satan are the two poles of that very duality which means that if we think of any god then satan comes by default.
Basically there is nothing as sin it is the an act that gives rise to guilt that is termed as sin.
Finally there is no god or sin as such as its all illusionary/maya.
Love & rgds
