Before giving your judgement or opinion that a God can never sin or do evil acts. Take this example and see what happens. I have asked this before but I was not too clear, I suppose. Let's try again.
If an entity (could be anyone including a God or many Gods depending your you faith) asks you to chose between two choices. One is disobey him he tortures you until you old age or obey him he give you everything he owns. Now, is such an action evil or not evil if someone gave you these two choices?
I don't care if it is from a God or from any entity. I'm only looking at the action or deed of this action to determine if such deeds are evil or not. Please be honest and open minded just for once.
My take looking at this is such demand from such entity seem like an evil action. I think a judge or police or even a UFO if they exists would agree. I tend to think even Jesus would agree this action is evil if Jesus ever really existed and also gives an honest answers.

From the above discussion, if God also has a sinful or evil nature then how does a God erase the sinful nature of humans if God also has such a nature?
You see my point? Good and evil determined by who you side with. Should it be?
I think evil is evil is the act is evil. People should not take sides to determine what is good or evil. If an action is evil, it should be evil. Killing of babies is an evil act. Drowning the disabled is an evil act. Giving or demaind people to obey is an evil act. Torture for eternity is an evil act no matter how you look at it.
Are human minds not able to truely see what is good and what is an evil act? Can there be excuses for evil acts?
How can excuse change the outcome of an evil action?

All people here seem to agree that an act of God is never consider evil but if it was from the same deeds by man or anything else is considered evil. I don't get it.

You tell a child not to touch a hot stove but if he disobeys you you go torture this little child. This is the evil part of a God.
The evil nature is God will torture you in a lake of fire for eternity if you disobey his demands of his choice. Why do believers deny this fact?
I'm pretending God and religions are all real.

Why God is all Good as everyone claimed God is then why God's own actions uses violent to kill innocent babies, disabled, the blinded? Why he also do such evil actions if he is suppose to show as example of being all Goodness?
A God should show examples of being all good not do actions that set an example of evil. The thing is people cannot see an evil action is evil because it is performed by a God. That is the problem of humanity. They cannot see what is good or evil. In Sudan, 50 people were burned to death today but the act is not evil to those who burned them. How can that be? People cannot see what is right or wrong or evil act just like believers unable to see the act of a God is evil or not.
Something is wrong with the human mind somewhere that I am still kind of puzzle as to why. If you can see God's acts are evil then maybe the people who burned the church in Sudan can see their own actions are evil.

Agreed. No god can be simultaneously omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent.

I didn't read your line of stuff but , God gives a person freedom of choice so it is up to the sinner to change his or her sinful nature , the kicker is if the person needs help changing their sinful nature or avoiding sin the person can ask God for help

God is great, God is good.
There is no evil in Him.
You should be ashamed of yourself for carrying on with such nonsense.

Where on earth did this question come from? Let me say this once and for all, God does not exist in our limited time, He is Spirit and those who wish to worship Him must do it in Spirit and in truth. God is sinless, absolutely pure. If you are trying to say anything else you will be standing on dangerous ground.
I have a free Christian Book for you which will help you...ask and you will receive :-)

Well, if the entity gave you the choice knowing you would choose wrong, but had already made arrangements to pay the price on its own for your poor choice, I don't see it as evil.
That is the thing - God knew we couldn't be perfect but all we have to do is accept his forgiveness and it's taken care of. So where's the evil?
Oh, and to your orginal question, God does NOT have an evil nature. God is wholly good. It is his desire that NONE should perish and it grieves him when we spit in his face.

It really has nothing to do with a sinful nature and wether God has one. His choices are to us as follows: Submit and have everything or do a Satan the FIRST sinner and loose everything.

Of course that would be evil if that were the choice. But God did not ask you to obey him or else he'll torture you. He gave us the choice to choose to follow him....Now if you choose to follow the Devil thats on you. Thats when you will burn. He didn't say follow me or else. Its not a threat....its a choice given to you.

He is a LOVING GOD.
You make it out just the opposite.
God is EVERYTHING that is good and pure and true.
DON'T MOCK HIM.
EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD------IS GOD.
Everything ELSE is of the WORLD.
so there.
your answer is that GOD does NOT have a sinful nature.
puh.
