1) According to the King James Bible, Is the Christian God impartial?
This does not mean 'what do you think?' It means, "According to the bible... "
2) Regardless of what the bible says, do you believe the Christian God is impartial?
3) Is being impartial necessary to complete the definition of God?

On what? Everything? Impartial is a hard word to define based on your question. If God is supposed to make a judgement, and if the judgement results in a Pass or Fail. Then he must obviously in favor of people passing. If you're asking if people are judged based purely on pre-defined merits then I don't see how a Supreme Creator could be anything but impartial.
Thanks for the "God is fake" comments. They're as useful as this conversation in which you are Joe:
Dave: "Hey, Joe. I need your perspective on something."
Joe: "Okay, shoot."
Dave: "Well, I think my brother cheats at tennis. Okay, let's pretend you're my brother and we're playing tennis."
Joe: "But I'm not your brother."
Dave: "Right, but just play along for a sec."
Joe: "I don't even play tennis."
Dave: *mental note: Ignore Joe*

you can change gods mind. infact abraham did. does that make him impartial? |
Most religions seem to agree that human beings are allowed to make their own choices.
In specific regards to the Old Testament it seems as if God purposefully gave men free will & chooses not to use his powers to forsee what will happen to them. If both of these were true, then it would be possible to change God's mind, especially if his opinion was about humans.
It's late but the only time I can recall in the Bible where someone changes God's mind is during the plea to not destroy Sodom and Gomorrha.
P.S. What is the purpose of these "God is Fake" posts? His question is about the Christian God. If the Christian God is fake the questions can still be debated just the same. It would have no bearing on the answer.
You base your statement on opinion alone. In fact, nothing can be further from the truth.
If religion was all that boring, there wouldn't even have been people proclaiming, "God is dead;" if something is all that boring, why think about it in the first place?
Did your teacher just tell you about Sartre? Nietzsche? Camus? Or do none of those even ring a bell?

According to the Bible, God openly rejects gays and lesbians in the old testament(Not to mention he was impartial toward everyone except 1 man and his family at one point*hence the flood*).
The New Testament laws are alot different from old testament though. After Jesus died on the cross that changed everything. If you recall Jesus died, went to hell and set the captives free. There was no more need to sacrafice lambs sheep or oxen seeing as how the ultimate price was paid. All sins before, during and after the crucifixion were covered by Jesus. So I guess the answer is yes for the old testament and no to impartiality in the new.
Nobody has the answers, and until we get a definitive answer we'll just have to sit here wondering.
For me, I hope there is some sort of pleasant afterlife, mostly because the idea of not existing somewhat shakes me, considering I've spent every second for the last 29 years being me! Then again, if there is no afterlife, I'll be dead and I won't care, anyway.
Most people need to believe in Final Justice. The prelate who is held back as his children's skulls are smashed against the wall by cruel centurions, grinds his teeth and spits curses through tears, hoping that they will be avenged somehow in another world. The woman who stares incredulously as her husband's murderer is acquitted can do nothing but pray that they burn for it in some sort of afterlife.
Without some sort of final justice, are life's horrors bearable?
