God is meant to be the only being that lives without sin but this can't be true as he flood the world killing countless people for what he believed to be a greater good

God's laws are for His creation to follow.
Miracles are God doing His will outside of the laws he has laid down for His creation.
Parents set rules for their children that they never think to follow, like holding a grownup's hand while crossing the street.
God is infinitely farther above adults than adults are above children.
God's talk to Job in Job 38 describes this very nicely:
Where were you when I founded the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its size; do you know?
Who stretched out the measuring line for it?
Into what were its pedestals sunk,
and who laid the cornerstone,
While the morning stars sang in chorus
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
And who shut within doors the sea,
when it burst forth from the womb;
When I made the clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling bands?
When I set limits for it
and fastened the bar of its door,
And said: Thus far shall you come but no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stilled!
With love in Christ.

God cannot sin.
Neither the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Spirit are capable of sinning, anymore than God can make a square circle.
All those who died in the flood were defying God's divine will, and were committing terrible sins, for which they knew the penalty was death.
If God had not wiped out the people at the time of Noah's flood, the world would have become totally corrupted by demonic forces, and that would have made it impossible for God to send a savior to redeem mankind.
God didn't just believe it to be a greater good. God knew exactly what he was doing.
In his divine justice, God enforced the known penalty for sin.
In his divine mercy, he saved Noah and his family, and kept alive his plan for the redemption of the entire human race.

The true God is without sin...the basic meaning of sin is
"Missing the mark of perfection" like shooting an arrow and it misses the target or bulls eye.
About the flood in Noah's day...There was so much perversion on the planet earth he asked Noah to preach to all to help him build the ark and they too can survive the flood by entering into it, but they did not.
The warning God gave was sufficient to destroy the wicked.
The ones who were not local...thousands of miles away, the wicked their along with the good ones were destroyed the good ones will have a resurrection to life later...God knows these ones. that's why he gave his only begotten son to redeem mankind.
God is perfect.

Yes God is sinless. He is also a righteous judge. He hates sin but loves the sinner. Everyone is given an opportunity to know Him, and yet so many people reject Him. Just as we have to have justice and are brought before a court of law when we commit a crime, so God has to punish sin. Anarchy would be rife is this was not the case. God is a God of love, He sent His Son Jesus into the world to die in our place and take the punishment we deserved. It is up t each one of us to accept this gift or not.
God hates sin, but loves the sinner. Before the flood, God gave people an opportunity to be saved, but they did not take his warning seriously. The same stands today. He is waiting for people to turn to Him, repent of their sin, and ask for forgiveness.
Each one of us has a choice.

Yes, God is truly without sin.
Not greater good, but to rid the world of the evil inhabitants thereof.

i will supply this my astounding shot with the most objective on the favor for a blood sacrifice. at the same time as Adam and Eve disobeyed God contained in the backyard of Eden (unique sin), with the tips of the Serpent (devil) they succumbed to both a actual death and a non secular death. It become devil, the serpent that first bridged the divide between non secular to the actual, hence the sin led to both a non secular and actual death. consequently, in order to fix this hollow, a divine being might want to take actual style and this become Jesus Christ. Christ, a divine being in human style, served as this blood sacrifice conquering death and providing those that believe with eternal existence. the answer to Why did he try it is present day in John 3:16 "For God so loved the international that he gave his in hardship-free words begotten Son". we are God's creation, and that i do no longer study you yet you adore and take care of those issues that you created.

I do not think that I will judge God...
Assume that you are a gardener and an incurable disease attacks your fields...
If you have one plant in a field of 100 with a disease, you pull the plant...
if you have 50 plants in a field of 100 with a disease, you pull the 50 plants...
if you have 95 plants in a field of 100 with a disease, you pick up the 5 good plants and wipe out the field.

Yes God is without sin. I believe the entire Bible (KJV) and I don't pick and choose which parts of it I believe. It is all true and correct.

God is NOT responsible for the killings happening in the world, This is caused by the evil in mankind's heart.

God the Father is without sin.
You are trying to mix the meaning of justice.
