    The very nature of philisophical questions like these get us to the crux of OUR beliefs and what they truly mean.
    In this case the question is, truly, Can God sin> in other words, IF sin is going agianst the rules of God, can God break God's own rules? and if he can't, is he Omnipotent? and If God can't sin, how doe sone explain the acts attributed to God that are sinful if done by Man?
    If God CAN sin, would he ever? and if Yes, does that Stop God from being God? and if Yes, how can God judge man for the "same" sin ?

    Some have considered the irrationality of the above issues and concluded that the general Biblical idea of God is itself irrational.

    Well, that is AN option, of course the whole notion that the "biblical idea of God" is the ONLY or the Last word about God is in of itself the main problem.

    If God exists how can one book "contain" God?

    It can't, it is just a "intro" to God, a beginners course if you will, it is not the end journey of discovery of God, merely the teaser trailer.

    2Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—"

    This quote pretty much states that God KNOWS good and evil and as such KNOWS sin, so yes God CAN sin, just like someone that knows how to drive CAN drive, but God Chooses's not to and because of being God, has the POWER to not sin, whereas us Huma, even though we can choose not to sin, are imperfect nature makes the choice virtually impossible unless the Spirit of God is in Us and strengthens Us.
