Why can't God sin?

RE: Why can't God sin?
Well, first of all, since God cannot have emotions, otherwise there are external forces friving Him/Her, and since God cannot have an ego, otherwise external forces are driving Him/Her, He/Hse cannot take offence.

But then, the God defined in man's image is fairly irrational and fickled, and so no matter what you do, you're screwed!

Now, if all religions are true, then no matter what you do, you are doing the right thing and the wrong thing. And if you join the wrong religion, you are doing the wrong thing. And if you are a sinless baby, but unbaptised you go to hell (until that changed the rules a bit later and put the baby at the edge of hell: limbo). And if you divorce and you are Catholic, you have sinned, but if you are Jewish you preformed a mitzvah (a positive thing)! If you eat meat on friday, you have sinned (or not, depending which year you did it), and if you work on Sunday as a Christian you sinned (if it was before the 19th century, otherwise it's cool), or not if you are a Jew.

So many sins, and each of them depend on your religion, and according to most of them, if you are not part of them you are going to hell anyhow, or at the very least, not to heaven.

I prefer a simpler life, which is why I live in the suburbs.

RE: Why can't God sin?
Quote:And to elaborate a little: It isn't for "eternity"! Jesus broke the bond of Sin, because He was sinless...but died anyway! The short answer? He broke the curse of God against us! You see Death was meant for Sinners, NOT THE SINLESS! Making more sense now? Probably NOT.

Its all about "free-will". And therein lies "the" dilemma. How do you make something perfect out of chaos?

Once you explore the reasons why, the answers come. But you aren't interested in an answer. At least in one you have to find.... Just perpetuating choas.

Again...GOD OWES US NOTHING! Once you grasp that concept you will begin to understand.

You seem to have a lot of anger, sister. Maybe it's just your caps lock use. Or your scathing degradative assertions that no one can understand what you're saying because we don't want to find the answer. Truth is, you have no answer. What you've said we all know. Thanks though.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
