Ok, let's talk about Elisha
If you knew anything about the Bible you would know if God ever appoints a man as a Prophet he has to always back what the Prophet says. Which is why he told Moses he was a god (lowercase)

Sorry - I am calling bullshit on this. Lets look at the passage - and I have used the KJV as its your favourite:

KINGS 2: 23-24

23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.


Elisha is not dong this in is apparently godly role - he is doing this "in the name of the Lord," AKA GOD.

"And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."

Does it say the god Elisha summoned 2 bears from the woods - no, they came forth after he cursed the children in the name of the Lord.

There's just no limit to how you guys reinterpret the Bible, or borrow from one totally unrelated story to support another is there.

Children that tease a prophet over his bald head get ripped apart by bears. God sanctions this. If he didn't he would have stopped the bears. There is simply no way to wriggle out of this.
