How many of the 7 deadly sins does God do and is that ok with Christians?

How many of the 7 deadly sins does God do and is that ok with Christians?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins

God seems to have broken many of the 10 commandments and Christians are quick to forgive him for then. They tend to say that God made those for mankind to keep and that since God owns us, he does not have to do as he tells us to do.

Do as I say and not as I do from their lawmaker seems to be ok for most Christians although to give some few credit, they say they would not tolerate that trait in anyone else. Rather a double standard but this is God after all and he needs some concessions.

I was wondering if that attitude and free pass was transferrable to the 7 deadly sins or if Christians could accurately judge God on them even if they would exonerate him for those as well. Just because he is God.

The sins are as follows. Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.

Wrath. God definitely has a wrath problem and his temper and killing ability is quite well known. When Christians get to hell they will note the many children and babies who have felt God’s killing wrath.

Greed. I would say that God is quite greedy as he will destroy any soul who does not kowtow to him. He is not greedy for money but I think it is fair to substitute money for souls here.

Sloth. I would say that God has a lot of slough. I do not see him doing much of anything at all and this indicates laziness with is a synonym for sloth.

Pride. Scriptures do show God having pride. The bible has God saying he is well pleased with Jesus and as a part of the Trinity we cannot put anyone before him then we can see that that is a lot of pride.

Lust. I am not sure about. I would say that when a man covets another man’s woman for reproductive reasons that coveting and lust are quite close and we do know that God coveted another man’s woman so I will give God only half marks on lust.

Envy. To me envy is quite close to coveting so for this sin I give God full marks. I think he envied man’s ability to reproduce and shamed us with his bestiality with a human female. This bestiality I admit is more spiritual than physical although how we can remove all the physical is a mental headache.

Gluttony. For this, God gets a pass.

So the total sins that Christians would see is 0 sin factor and God would pass all criteria with flying colors.

I see God at a horrible 5 ½ sin factor out of 7 and a clear fail.

There is no arguing with Christians on this and I know this because of this phenomenon.

I would just like to ask any kind Christian out there to please give an argument refuting my obviously wrong arguments showing that God is a sinner just so others will see how wrong I am. Please correct me as God lovingly would.

Proverbs 3:12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Perhaps, but does he sin and if you believe in that God, do you care?

By definition a god cannot sin unless that god sins to a higher god.

Personifications are not real. They are a way for humans to understand something that is beyond their understanding.

God never sins because what He does is always good. As for the 7 deadly sins-
Wrath- Yes, the Bible says that God did occasionally get angry with His people, but that was because of the horrible things the Israelites were doing. His anger was completely justifiable, and His correction was done out of love- to bring His people back to Him, and the Promised Land (and therefore had good results). Besides, the Bible also shows God as a loving God of mercy- one who loved the world so much that He sent His only Son to die for it.
Greed- God is really not greedy when considering He created all things good, including humans AND He was gracious enough to share it with all of us.
Sloth- How much work does it take to save and keep in balance the whole world and fight evil at the same time? A lot!
Pride- Pride is a sin only when a person (aka human) thinks of himself more highly than he ought to and gives no glory to God. Obviously, God is as high up as you can get, and He is being glorified, so this is not a problem.
Lust- When did God ever lust for a man's wife? God is as pure as pure can be.
Envy- Yes, God is jealous for human beings- because He loves us like a Father! And love is never evil, nor is it ever a sin.

I hope I answered all your questions. Really, God is Love, and Love just can't sin!

@m317 So, God CANNOT do evil?

Doesn't that limit god?

Good is relative to God's will, not our own conceptions of justice and fairness and moral worth of individuals, apparently.

Yes, it's a "god is god and god will do what god wants because god is god" kind of thing.

In Kohlberg's stages of moral development, it's definitely conventional level moral reasoning.

No, God hates sin and is the enemy of sin, so He cannot and will not sin.

So, God is controlled by hate?

The socks are getting plentiful in this cold weather.

Considering God designates what is and isn't sin, it's still relative to God. He doesn't do what he doesn't want to do, and his followers interpret his decision as "good", which is why they can't fathom when people have moral codes that don't require a supernatural godfather.
