God is Truth. Sin is not Truth.
The untrue do not know Truth. It is the untrue that perceive God to be untrue, or can sin.

Why do you say he cannot sin? Do you mean to say that he has no choice? God's will is bound by a stronger force than himself?The OP asks this ?
What is impossible for God ?
answer- God cannot sin that is an impossibility.
hope this helps !!!
An interesting question....Are we greater than God?
His attributes are: His eternality (Psalm 90:2); His immutability, or unchanging quality (James 1:17); His love (1 John 4:8); His omnipotence, or being all powerful, the Almighty One (Revelation 1:8); His omnipresence, or being everywhere present at all times (Psalm 139:7-11); His holiness, absolute purity and separation from evil (Habakkuk 1:13); His righteousness, or justice (Psalm 11:7); and His truth (Titus 1:2).Why do you say he cannot sin?

Is it impossible for God to lie because of "what" he is, or because of "who" he is?
It might help if you answered the question more directly.His attributes are: His eternality (Psalm 90:2); His immutability, or unchanging quality (James 1:17); His love (1 John 4:8); His omnipotence, or being all powerful, the Almighty One (Revelation 1:8); His omnipresence, or being everywhere present at all times (Psalm 139:7-11); His holiness, absolute purity and separation from evil (Habakkuk 1:13); His righteousness, or justice (Psalm 11:7); and His truth (Titus 1:2).
This is a brief picture of God who manifested Himself in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and the attributes, or perfections, are true for each member of the Godhead. Because God is holy, righteous and true, and He can do nothing inconsistent with Himself, we come to the conclusion that God cannot sin. Since holiness, righteousness, and God’s other perfections are who God is, if God were to sin, He would cease to be God. The fact that God is "holy, holy, holy" prevents Him from doing anything that is unholy, i.e. sinful.got?

I did God is HOLY IMMUTABLE and cannot change. Its who God is according to scripture therefore incapable of sin.It might help if you answered the question more directly.
"And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27
Nothing is impossible for God... but then by faith... nothing is impossible for us! Are any of us then living by faith on the approach to being so much like God that nothing is impossible for us? We would not want to call Jesus a liar, would we?the verse of the day made me look for your thread.
Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
It is impossible for God to go against his own nature and also against his own will.
Is it impossible for God to forgive sin without the shedding of blood?
Hello redfan,
You ask a question is it impossible for God to forgive sin without the shedding of blood?
Jesus blood was shed once and for all sin, on earth. To me Gods wrath no longer abides on anyone.
Why do you ask this question for? Do you have a different response?
Christ didn't have to be nailed to cross in order to accomplish the Atonement. The wages of sin is death... Not crucifixion. The crucifixion part was Satan's idea, not God's. But prophecy couldn't be broken either. So it had to be. But unnecessarily so as far as our redemption is concerned.I'm curious because if God could have forgiven sin without the crucifixion of His Son, by He chose not to, it changes the way I look at atonement.
What disabled God from forgiving the offender’s sin without having His Son nailed to the cross? Christ, we are told, paid the price for our sins―but the price owed to Whom? If it was owed to the Father, what restrained Him from simply canceling the debt?
He did cancel the debt but men don't believe it. They insist on God requiring payment because they refuse to imagine that God is that generous.I'm curious because if God could have forgiven sin without the crucifixion of His Son, but He chose not to, it changes the way I look at atonement.
