I understand Jesus Christ God the Son when he became incarnate was Subject to Moral Law given to humanity by God on earth up till his death.

Is the Triune God subject to Spiritual Moral law before and after God took on humanity in the trinity on earth and in heaven ?
 
No, God is above all. God is the standard by which we consider good. So, He is the standards of moral law. God is not subject to anything or anyone. If He were, then He wouldn’t really be God.

I understand natural man humanity is subject to Natural laws. When you say ‘‘God is the standard of Moral Law’’ which is spiritual law and God is spirit and God is Good. Then God can not do immoral evil. Would that mean that Moral law is a attribute of God or is God and God is subject to himself and his own standard of moral law to keep to it ?

God is the Be All and End All. Everything He is is Good. We know that ‘good’ in the way we do, because of Lucifer the fallen angel of God, who by his pride, created evil. God is the epitome of Good. Evil is anything that puts doubt in us about that fact. It is not diametrically opposed to Good. It is at best a smoke screen… an illusion… a lie.

God is Moral Law. Not subject to it.

Laws exist to guide a person to its fullness. God is inherently complete and full. To that end, He is the fulfillment of all laws, neither by the law being an attribute of His or God being subject to the laws themselves.

I think it is one-sided to say that “God can not do immoral evil.” It is better, I think, to say that “God does not do immoral evil.” Firstly, because God is pure actuality (being-in-itself); secondly because saying what God can and can’t do is folly, because in doing that we are trying to subject Him to our own feeble mind games; thirdly, because we have faith in God for the fact that he is first faithful.
 
God cannot sin because it’s against his nature. Therefore, being “subject to the law” is a non-issue because he would never break the law to begin with…
 
God is both the law and above the law.

What I mean by that is, the law comes from God and from God alone. But He is not in any way bound by the law.
 
In this God is essentialy like a judge. He can makes laws but isn’t subject to the law.
 
May Your Heart Be united with the wounded heart of Jesus which bleeds and longs for our love of Him, the one who first loved us.

God is not subject to the rules he gave mankind, no more than a parent is bound by the rules they give their child for their own protection and benefit.
 
God is morals, the only thing immoral is that which is not within the will of God.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Ie: what you think is moral is not if it is not what God says is moral.

So the idea of “I judge God as immoral” is not a thing. And when you consider how a 4yr old may think you wrong as a parent… how could even a 100yr old compare in comprehension to an omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal God?
 
God is. He doesn’t even act in the way we act, or in any temporal sequence. He is not now doing X and next doing Y. He just is what he is, and what he is is also his one great action and word.

As such, it’s not really feasible to think of God even acting in the way we do, choosing good, choosing bad, etc . . .

He is, and he is goodness. But what should be clear is that he does not have the nature of a human. He does not have the nature of an angel. He is perfection, he IS existence, he is Being. He is God, and applying human morality to God, derived as it is according to human nature and applicable only to beings with our nature, is silly.
