I'm not asking whether he will. I am asking what he COULD do and remember if he's omnipotent he can do anything - so don't say he can't.

God's omnipotence is consistent with his All-Goodness and All-Justice;so, He would not do anything incompatible with His attributes even if Bible texts depict His doing and commanding evil acts as bad as those of any human moral monster.
I believe that the Old Testament is God's Inspired Written Word but that it must be applied and interpeted by the Church in the light of Reason (Natural Law),Apostolic Tradition (and the NT that came out of and still needs it) and by the authority of the authoritative Church that Jesus commissioned to do so.
My approval or that of anyone is not needed by the Eternal,Infinite,All-Good ,All-Just and All-Mighty Source of Mercy.

Terrorism = acts of war against the civilian population.
So when God engaged in terrorism by murdering every first born son in Egypt to try and change Pharoh's politics (while simultaniously "hardening" Pharoh's heart so he wouldn't give in), I have to say I would not approve of that.
Luckily, it's fiction, so I don't need to lose too much sleep over the idea that God is a terrorist.

God can sin, but he chooses not to. Im sure theres a few things I would hate to see God do. But thats my human nature, however spiritually I should be allright with anything God does, just because he is God. The book of Job says The Lord Gives and takes away, Blessed be the name of the Lord. So really if we really loved him more than anyone else he could kill our whole family and we should still trust and obey him, however we live in Sin so nowdays ppl would go so far as to kill themselves cuz of stuff they think God does and he doesnt even do, sometimes its just life.

I'm sure I'm not going to approve of everything God does...but that might be because I am not omniscient.
Lots of people seem to be confused about what God did in Egypt, for instance...
God did not murder all the first born sons. It was Pharoah who had issued the edict to kill all the boy babies born to the Hebrews...and he didn't limit it to first born boys, either. He was afraid that the Hebrews were going to be too strong for him to control, so he simply dealt with the problem by killing all the baby boys as soon as they were born.
Nasty, yes? Of course, you say!
Pharoah named the final plague on Egypt, himself, when he threatened to murder all firstborn children of the Hebrews if Moses did not stop insisting that he ought to release the slaves.
Btw, "firstborn" does not necessarily mean infant. I am my mothers firstborn...and I am 56 years old.

This would have been more fun if your question was...
Is there any act God could commit that would prove he doesn't exist?
but you didn't so.....
I wouldn't like it if God became Mel Gibson and didn't tell anyone that he was God. That would suck.

Yes...there is something I could be upset about...
Lets say, if he burned down my house because my dad doesn't believe in Him...then I would be like "HEY!!! YOU! I lived there, I believe in you..."
But then He would be all like "here...there is a better house for your sufferings!" and I would be like "YAY GOD!"
Lol...Everything God does has a purpose...He doesn't do anything "just because"...you know?

No.
1) God is God. As a Christian, I cannot disapprove of any of His deeds.
2) God is Good. He cannot perform any deed which is not for Good. Although I certainly don't always understand the good, I am firmly convinced that everything that He does *is* good.
