children are innocent due to the fact that they believe they are the center of all existance, that they possess everything and know everything and every one. they believe that if others go against their wishes they are ignorant or evil.
so, I guess my answer would be yes, though I was using this example to answer no.

Well....God is sinless. And desires no wrong to befall His children. So in those ways He is innocent like a child. But then, unlike a child. He knows everything. He knows about our sins, motives and emotions and even understands them. Making His mind more mature than a child but His actions are the innocence of a child...

Hello,,interesting concept but true. The Almighty is as a child in that the natural goodness of the unknowing childlike perceptions of the wickedness in the world have no bearing on the wrath to be given out. If you are doing "evil" things the Godlike nature of the child is to withdraw from the person into a zone of relief and that's when all hell breaks loose.

If innocents is being beyond opposites then Yes.
The term innocence is a description of duality. The transcendent transcends concepts of Good or evil. They are human concepts, Derived from a human view point.
Were you there when God counted the stars? Ask Job from the bible about good or evil. Ask Arjuna in the bagdavada Gita.

No. If he had the "innocence of a child," he wouldn't have created his own son for the purpose of being murdered, and he wouldn't have let 6 million of his "Chosen People" be systematically tortured and killed in the Holocaust.
Sounds more like pure evil than innocence to me.

No, because the Holy God of Heaven doesn't have the corrupted nature of a human being. The omniscient Lord of all creation cannot have the ignorance of a man.

Well He certainly is innocent from the standpoint of being
sinless. But as for knowledge He is omniscient, by definition.
So your question gets a no and a yes.

I had a friend many years ago who supposed that god may be just that. He thought that god was a child playing with his toys.

I would say yes.....because in the innocence of a child, love has no boundaries. So, in that respect, the answer to your question is yes.
