Can you conceive of ANYTHING that, if it occured, would demonstrate that God is not perfectly moral? I'm not suggesting it could ever happen, I'm only asking for you to imagine what it might be?
possible examples:
If the Pope were assisinated...
If 6 million Jews were killed by fascists...
If the only person killed in a bridge collapse was a 6 month old baby...
If a major hurricane wiped out large portions of a major U.S. city...
Basically, this is a yes/no question. But if yes, then say what event it might be...

Is there NO answer, or are Christians afraid to answer my question?

Morality is essentially a human necessity.The Supreme God cannot conveive of morality becuase He cannot conceive of sin. In heaven, there is no need to establish codes of conduct because there is mo possibility of evil.
If an event occured on earth that to some groups demonstrated that God is not perfectly moral, it would mean that God had orchestrated a plan to get everyone to know Christ. 6 million Jews were killed by fascists, a small baby was the only one that was killed in a bridge collapse and a major hurricane wiped out an entire city so that people would start asking : Is there such a thing as Salvation? If Jesus Christ really was The Messiah, why are these things happening 2000 years later? Does God really have any control over human affairs?
As soon as we start asking these kinds of questions, we are forced to listen to various different viewpoints that we might not have otherwise entertained- and we are more likely, out of desperation, to turn to those who say they have the answers.
Without darkness, there would be no possibility of ever seeing Light. Without sin, immorality,evil and death, we would never feel compelled to turn away from worldly answers and ask : If there is a God, why is this happening?
The Bible is the only scripture that effectively answers all these kinds of questions. Read the Book of Revelation.

No because those 2 things you mentioned were caused by man. The third even not really because it's appointed unto man once to die. Because it hasn't reached the age of accountability it's already in heaven & will never know pain or suffering. Only those who loved it will and who's to say it wasn't saved from a much worse fate. Hurricanes don't just happen. Certain conditions have to exist in the atmosphere to occur & we have no idea of what greater good could possibly exist by what it devastated or how man may have played into it.
Only God knows the beginning, present & end and the purpose. We only judge by the known. Thus to judge God is to be found a fool. A perfect example I once heard of man's fallacies in judgement was there was this man, his tie was loose, collar crooked, he was staggering & slurring his words. People thought he was a drunk & avoided him. People thought he had passed out drunk & called the cops. Instead he was dead. He had, had a stroke. He hadn't had a drop to drink. A death that possibly could have been prevented if not for the actions of man. That bridge didn't collapse on it's own. Man chooses where he lives, thus risk.
So I would never dare judge God by what happens on earth.

No. I can't think of anything that would make God immoral. God tells us up front "If you will do this, I will do this." But we are living in a cursed world of sin. And the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. Choose life.
God is our protection and provision, but not if the nation forgets God. God will allow what you've mentioned to happen because God will judge sin. Israel is our example and if we do what they did, we will receive their judgments.
How many times does God have to tell us, "there is nothing new under the sun", and "a nation that forgets Him will not stand."

I additionally trust the previous answer, inspite of the indisputable fact that, that cap and commerce feels like a scheme to control funds, no longer mitigate the quantity of carbon being pumped into the ambience. It additionally could probably have the end results of shifting greater production jobs out of the U. S.. My factor is that I trust the argument, yet i do no longer trust cap and commerce as this is pushed precise now. on the different hand, i do no longer trust the water vapor argument. feels like manipulating the numbers and the technological understanding to coach a factor, no longer employing the numbers and the technological understanding to make certain the actual fact. _

If reincarnation wasnt true then god wouldn't be fair, therefor not moral
EDIT: I know, god isn't either verifiable. But if he exists, reincarnation is the only possibility through wich he would be fair

everything happens for a reason. Sometimes life sucks, and sometimes God makes decisions that you may not understand or agree with, but eventually it will become clear .
