I don't think God can do anything logically absurd. He can't exist and not exist at the same time and in the same sense. He's can't create married bachelor or four-sided triangles.
People are able to sin, but God is not.

There is one thing God cannot do. He cannot separate Himself from the soul.
By Yogaswami of Jaffna (1872-1964)-
Hindu Saivite SatGuru
Hinduism can give some mystical answers .
Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"
God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.
In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.
Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.
That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.
This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

With God, all things are possible. There are things he just will not intervene. One is our salvation. We choose, we make the choice to serve God or not. Those who are not saved, can only be saved when they answer yes to the father's call.

GOD is capable of doing all things.
and that is an absolute statement.
but GOD is perfect and he does not do imperfection.
therefore GOD does not sin(meaning he doesn't transgress against his own law) and he doesn't do any works of darkness he is LIGHT and no darkness in him.
and he doesn't change.

well, if your defintion of "god" is a "omnipotent diety"
and not a "mythical construct" then, i suppose, nothing would be impossible...
unless!!!!
maybe, he could make something so strong, it's unbreakable, right?? (see omnipotent)
but if it's unbreakable, then HE cant break it, right???
would that not mean that he ISN"T omnipotent?
and if he could break it, then he would have failed to "make something unbreakable"... thus also disproving his "omnipotence"
well, is your mind blown yet?
