God has repented 5 times think, according to the Bible.
( Genesis 6:6 )
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
( Exodus 32:14 )
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
( 2 Samuel 24:16 )
And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
( Psalms 106:45 )
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
( Jonah 3:10 )
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

it's hard to imagine an omincient being not having the ability to be anything, including immoral.
supposedly God can do anything, it makes no sense that lying would be excluded from all of God's absolute powers and abilities.
if he did, would it be good? who would know?
man lies and man is immoral and man wrote the Bible, the supposed word of God, which is full of contradictions

Grace neither tempts(laws) nor can be tempted(lawed).
Therefore His Grace (God) cannot lie(law) nor die(law).
POINT: Grace: neither of two law law loves in Mt 22:36-40.
Grace: I will never leave thee nor forsake thee: Friend.
Law: I will forsake you, the city, and your fathers: Enmity
Christ is our peace who abolished the law(enmity): Eph2
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

God is all powerful. He is able to do anything that he pleases but will not do certain things because they go against his very nature. They go against the very fiber of his being.

Didn't he tell someone to sacrafice his kid? Then say something like "Just kidding!"
That's like lying and being mean. Not even a white lie. More like a grey or muddy one...
