Did God sin? In Matthew 5:27-28, we find that the thought of an evil action is basically akin to committing sin itself. Exodus 32:14 says the LORD repented of an evil thought He had. Numbers 31:17-18 has Him commmitting an immoral act, killing innocent children. Is there a contradiction?

Other texts say only certain people are God’s children and that everyone else is a child of the devil (John 1:12; 8:41-44; Acts 13:8-10; Romans 8:14; 9:8; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 1:5; 2:3; 1 John 3:8-10). Is there a contradiction?
