All acts of God are just and he is the embodiment of love. Hence, unlike human beings God can never be revengeful.

A person becomes revengeful who believes in doing harm to others, but God is all powerful. How God could be revengeful, I do not understand.

good question ,
GOD do not have anything to do with what you claim.
But relative to him there are systems, laws and philosophies that flow in Human life. Its needed to exsist inorder for human to exsist.
Those are :
1. COST and Effect ( Budhist and hindu call it karma)
2. Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
3. What goes around comes around
These may seem like revenge for you, but its the natures natural way of GOD to maintain the human exsistence.

No. Every thing belongs to God. Why He should be revengeful at all?

Uddhava is astonished by the non-revengeful but merciful act of God, by his statement in Srimad Bhagavatam, 3.2.23,
"Alas, how shall I take shelter of one more merciful than He who granted the position of mother to a she-demon [Putana] although she was unfaithful and she prepared deadly poison to be sucked from her breast?"
Purport to above verse by, A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
Here is an example of the extreme mercy of the Lord, even to His enemy. It is said that a noble man accepts the good qualities of a person of doubtful character, just as one accepts nectar from a stock of poison. In His babyhood, He was administered deadly poison by Putana, a she-demon who tried to kill the wonderful baby. And because she was a demon, it was impossible for her to know that the Supreme Lord, even though playing the part of a baby, was no one less than the same Supreme Personality of Godhead. His value as the Supreme Lord did not diminish upon His becoming a baby to please His devotee Yasoda. The Lord may assume the form of a baby or a shape other than that of a human being, but it doesn't make the slightest difference; He is always the same Supreme. A living creature, however powerful he may become by dint of severe penance, can never become equal to the Supreme Lord.
Lord Krishna accepted the motherhood of Putana because she pretended to be an affectionate mother, allowing Krishna to suck her breast. The Lord accepts the least qualification of the living entity and awards him the highest reward. That is the standard of His character. Therefore, who but the Lord can be the ultimate shelter?

Not in the same sense as a human would be but God demands devine justice in all things. He also knows all of the facts in a matter and the heart condition of the ones involved so he is able to perform in a perfect manner.

God has to follow through on his promises, justice not revenge.

I have always said God is first a God of Love, Then a God of Judgement, Then a God of wrath. Vengence belongs to God.

God said, "Vengeance is mine." God is the final judge.
Read Deuteronomy 32 in the Old Testament for today!
