When I talk about God, I'm talking about the traditional Christian theologian belief of god. That is. God is an Omni God. God is an all good, all knowing, all-powerful and perfect in every way god. Given this definition of God we run into a question that seems to contradict itself, and causes many problems. This question being "Can God Sin?"
             I'll be looking at both views of at the answer to this question. Some reasons why God can/cannot sin. Consequences of God being able to/ not being able to sin.

I have the power to commit numerous sins. I am not all-powerful. God is all-powerful. Therefore a more powerful being than me. If I have the power to commit numerous amounts of sins, then surely so should God as he is more powerful than I am. For example. If I were to steal my neighbor's TV purely for my own entertainment wants. It is quite clear that this is an act of sin. If I am powerful enough to commit this act of stealing my neighbor's TV, then surely God is powerful enough to commit an act that results in a similar value of sin.
             One response to this type of argument. An argument that is based on the evidence that we are powerful enough to sin therefore God must be powerful enough to sin is that our ability to sin, or even our ability for us to be tempted to sin is not a power that we have. Our ability to be tempted to sin is a power that something else holds over us. Some would say that something is the Devil. For example if I were to steal my neighbor's TV set. This act of sin is not a power that I possess, rather a force (namely the Devil) has power over me to tempt me to steal my neighbor's TV set. Thus commit an act of sin. Because God is an all-powerful being, there is no force/being (namely t
