Can He limit himself and become not God. Is this option open to Him or is He bound by His divine nature?

Update:

@Riverndell, its an ability that leads to an inability

    God has limits based on his laws and commandments; for instance; God cannot be perfect and lie because one lie would destroy his perfection.

    God cannot be tempted with sin neither can he tempt any man to sin. The first is true because he is absolutely, perfectly holy. Sin cannot exist in such a person. The second is true because if he tempted men to sin he would be violating his own laws.

    God cannot do anything that would violate his word, his commands, or his standards, so no, he cannot go against his nature.

    He is God. He is omnipresent. He is all powerful so how would he limit himself.

    God cannot do evil. Satan cannot do good. It is that simple
