God's acts are good becuase He is good, so even otherwise evil acts are justified if God did them.
This aspect of the Bible has always confused me and even more so in light of many fundamentalists talking about the evils of "moral relativism". I've been thinking lately that belief in a God that is good no matter what He does is the ultimate form of moral relativism. For instance: If God had not stopped Abraham from killing his child, Abraham would have been "good" for obeying God to the ultimate extreme. It's weird.
