According to answerers on this question, God can't lie because he can't sin. One person said it would be "breaking his own rules". Isn't one of his rules not to kill? So..... lying is a sin, but killing off the entire human race including innocent children isn't a sin? Is that right?

See, you've got it all wrong. If YOU do something, its a sin. If god does it, its perfection. Also, if god instructs his followers to do something, say fly aircraft into buildings, or round up members of heathen religions and gas them or torture them to death, that is OK too. God = total awesomeness, you = pile of unworthy crap. 2 + 2 = 5 and Big Brother loves you. Just keep believing and everything will be fine.

Is that not cute... to some people and Christians getting angry and acting it out is a sin, But Jesus… God got angry and acted it out in the temple one Sunday. Most really, there is not such a thing as sin.
God can lie if you want your God to lie. God doesn't have rules and does have rules… depends on what you want your God to have… even both… no rules and rules… depends if you can step outside of the structure of language for a sec… ya know.
All the killing and stuff… (why is it more okay to kill an adult than a child… compared to all the power in the world an adult is not all that less defenseless than a child)… anyway… all the crap in the world is for us to learn to bring Love to where Love seems not to be. It is all perfect… it is our language taught to us that has us thinking the things are not so perfect… but they are.

God is the Creator - He makes the rules, He's the just judge of everything. The Law doesn't so much apply to Him as He is the LAW.
Do you call a judge who delivers a death sentence a murderer?? Or a cop who shoots a criminal?? No, you don't. God's punishments are just. He has the right to determine who deserves the death penalty.
If you read the Bible as a whole - you will see how many chances He gave people to repent and turn from their evil ways. He allowed His own chosen people to go into slavery for 400 years, a couple times I think, but He gave them sign after sign, chance after chance, and they continued to spit in His face. Justice will come, that is a law of this universe. You reap what you sow.

If you are fighting in an Army and you are a Christian then you can kill yes, you will get a pass to heaven for doing the Lord's work. I may be wrong, but I believe all Christian Soldiers go to heaven.

God cannot lie because He cannot deny Himself.
His commandment to not murder was directed to humans. (Exodus 20). Manslaughter (accidental) and killing in self defense is allowable, according to Exodus 21, which expounds upon the 10 Commandments. The self-defense nod extends to war in defense of a nation.

No you silly, silly ignorant twit. It's easy to find fault when you take it out of context isn't it? You babbling fool, you like all your other kind out there (and you're out there, I see it everyday) exert your energy spinning lies and falsehoods because you derive evil pleasures from it or to justify your own wicked intents. Spend that time instead to seek out the true word and you wouldn't have to make such fools of yourselves. The word says Thou shalt not murder. There is a big difference in murder and kill.

God can indeed lie. If you don't think God can lie read John 14:14.
