I think that's a really good question. If I accept the premise that God cannot ask us to do anything that is not moral, then that implies there is a morality independent of Him. On the other hand, if I accept the position that I must do whatever God wants me to do, then I have no way to ascertain whether God is asking me to do right or wrong - I must simply do what He says.

God is irrelevant to morality. Moral codes arise from the needs of society. Religion often claims to be a basis for morality, but those claims are obviously false.

Within the sphere of humanity God may or may not be subject to morals. Without humanity, morals would have never come into existence.

No. God does not need us. It is us who need God, but God wants to save us.
Here is a question for you, if you have a pretty immaculate and well kept house, will you accept a dirty bum to sleep in over night unless he cleanse himself up?
A surgeon will not operate on a dirty patient unless that patient is disinfected as he is in his surgical suit and surgical instruments, for the germs will just kill the patient after the operation out of viral contamination.

What!!
God is independent and does not depend on anyone!!!
To the Questioner: me me,
Does God exist? Yes he does,
If you say no He doens't because we haven't seen him, then we don't have a brain, because we haven't see it!
If you were walking and found horse poo, surely there was a horse about, and thats the proof for the existence of the horse, that's the same with this world and the skies, surely there is someone behind it, and that is God. Look at the universe, the body, everything around you!!!!
You can never live without God. No one can. Wait a minute, without God you wouldn't be here!!! He created you and gave you life, ofcourse you need him. Without him, you wouldn't be asking this question and I wouldn't be answering it. He gave you everything you need, and He can easily take it back anytime.
Be greatful to Him that he gave you all this. The oxygen you breathe, where is it from? God is the answer. The food you eat, it's all from God. He gave you the ability to type and read and write do all the things you can. He gave people sight, and others not, He gave you a good capable body, to others He didn't. Why? Why ask why!? It's God's choice, don't question him. Just be thankful, and a lot that he didn't make you without sight, or handicapped or anything else.
The family you live with, God gave you that as well. Everything reflects back on to God, and yet we are not thankful to him.....God exist, how can you say he doesn't? You people who say he doesn't exist, don't know the true meaning of life and existence. Maybe you don't exist as well? No one exists right? If God doesn't exist then we don't, right?
Islam means submitting to Allaah, worshipping Him alone and obeying Him, and shunning shirk (polytheism, associating others with Allaah) and those who believe in that. This is the religion which Allaah approves for His slaves. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Truly, the religion with Allaah is Islam”
[Aal- ‘Imraan 3:19]
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]
The person who enters this religion is called a Muslim (one who submits), because he has submitted (aslama) to all the rulings that have come from Allaah and from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And who turns away from the religion of Ibraaheem (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, We chose him in this world and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.
When his Lord said to him, ‘Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!’ He said, ‘I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).’” [al-Baqarah 2:130-131]
“Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allaah (i.e. follows Allaah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin ( a doer of good who does good deeds solely for the sake of Allaah) then his reward is with his Lord (Allaah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve”
[al-Baqarah 2:112].
That's what basically all the other Prophets were, they submitted themselves submisevly to the will of Allaah.

Please do not rate me thumbs-down for the the two links above posted, that are true, and nothing to do with me. I don't mean to disrespect Chrisanity, but you should study the Bible more carefully, and discover a lot of the shocking facts that are in their.
Such as pornography,
Swear words,
Bad body part words
Lies,
Fals information,
And many others,
I have lost the link to all this stuff, and hopefully, will find it,
Sorry to offend anyone, I do apologise. Sorry for any discrimination that I do not mean to do. Thank you for understanding.
