Does an All-Knowing God™ know what it's like to WANT to sin? Is he All-Powerful™ enough to do so?

And given that to even THINK of committing evil is the same as doing it (as per Matthew 5:21-28), how does that square with any claim to Omni-Benevolence™?

    James 1:14,15, says.."each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. The desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin, in turn sin, when it has been carried out brings forth death."

    The ability to distinguish between right and wrong and to have a wrong thought or see the potential of a wrongful action is not in itself a sin, but it is the potential root place of where sin can take place if we continue to dwell on a certain course of wrong doing that eventually leads us to act. The action is when the sin takes place. Jesus was warning how we can nip wrongful deeds in the bud by getting rid of wrong thoughts right away and not dwelling on them.

    if the hindu people and their scriptures are correctly God was not always a perfect being. He had to learn to be a God and learn to know what is good for life, for it is written that God was born of a lotus flower and became self evident as a God. Jesus himself is described as learning through what he suffered. in taking upon himself our afflictions he became learned in how to succor our lives because he lived the same frailty we live in. therefore Jesus is not the God of all creation, Jesus is the son of God because he still had to learn the things of mortal life. an all knowing God has understand of life and mortality. if this is all true.

    Being omniscient I'd assume he also knows what it feels like to be gay and lust for another of the same sex. Also he'd know what it's like to sniff coke off a hookers arsé.

    He would be omnibenevolent as long as he does not commit the sin. There is nothing wrong with knowledge or power.

    God can sin if he wants because he's God.
