For example, in Hosea 11:9 God explicitly tells us, "…for I am God and not a man."
First of all, there is always a reprimand against any human being who claims to be God, or Divine, as we read in

God specifically tells us that if God were a human being, then He would be a liar, as all human beings do lie on occasion. Furthermore, this verse tells us that if God were a human being, He would be in need of repentance because all human beings sin at some point in their lives. Finally, this verse also tells us that if Gd were a human being, then He would make promises, but not keep them:Ezekiel 28:2:Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Eternal God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God.
The reason that I started this thread is because of something Adovat said..Numbers 23:19 God is not a man that he should lie; neither the Son of Man that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Adovat said:The contrast is that "other gods may be capricious, subject to human manipulation through magic, but the Lord is not". (Jewish Study Bible 1985).
