Do gods make mistakes?
After the realization and knowledge of determining that Buddha is not a god- He may look like a God due to his godlike glow and his task to preach Buddhism to followers, he is just a wealthy prince turned into a poor, enlightened man. He is a human being, showcasing his raw emotions and challenges over the course of his life. For example, he showed stubbornness for not allowing women into the monastic order at first, but then he willingly and quickly changed his mind. I think that his initial reaction to females in the order can be categorized as a mistake for Buddha, but then he ultimately decided that his thinking was wrong and allowed his female relatives to be the first nuns in his order!
So since the great Buddha made a mistake and he is a human, do you think actual gods are in the position to make mistakes?
