By which moral standard is God supposed to be perfect?

Q: God is defined as being omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect, or completely good. Whatever God did, therefore, he would do because his morally perfect character compelled him to do it. So if we knew the moral standard against which God was measured to be perfect, we would have an insight into how we might expect God to behave. By which moral standard is God supposed to be perfect?

A: Great Question. I'm curious to see what kind of answer you'll get. The truth is, the very concept of God has changed throughout the ages. It usually changes to suit society's need. Just look in the Old Testament; the God of Abraham is different than the God of Moses or David or Job, or Isaiah, or, Hosea, or Jeremiah until finally in Ecclesiates the author seems to intimate that maybe god is not all good or all evil and that good and bad things happen to all people whether they are just or evil. Fast forward to the New Testament and the god of Jesus is vastly different to the old testament god. ANd what about other religions? How do they view their god vs the various judeo-christian concept of god. good luck.
