Could God . . .

[Cha]

As I understand theology, God can't do anything contrary to His nature (for example, He cannot lie). So the simple answer to this simple question would be "no." There's not even a paradox in there.

God doesn't lie literally but God has a tendency to change His mind or play with our minds. For example, He told Abraham that He would destroy a city. Abraham felt sad so God changed His mind. Perhaps it was another test like when God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and then God said not to. God is tricky.
