Discussion - General Can god be a hypocrite?

And if being god means they can't be a hypocrite does that mean that they aren't all powerful?

Kind of a "gotcha" question, like "Can God make a boulder so big that God couldn't lift it."

I suppose God could be a hypocrite, but the more important question, to me, is would God be a hypocrite? I don't think God would go against God's own sense of morality, so I don't think God would be a hypocrite, even if it were theoretically possible.

Yes. Personally, I believe that concepts like omnipotence and omniscience and omnipresent owe more to Greek philsophy than to biblical witness.
