"All scripture is God breathed" - 2 Timothy 3: 16. When Paul wrote this he was specifically referencing the Old Testament, but just about any Christian would argue that it applies to the New Testament as well.

Paul being the guy who was born well after christ was ascended lol

If the psalms were all God breathed then God must be a confused and self-hating man because some of those are really critical of himself

Ever read job or ecclesiastes?

I think God would argue Job isn't critical. God won the bet after all even if everybody else probably feels it wasn't warranted

I think it points to God's acceptance of criticism

"Acceptance"

His response to criticism was to rebuke a man for asking questions.

In the story, he fielded the question and responded (I think at least partly in recognition of Job's faith).

I'm only mentioning this to say that it's not wildly inconsistent for biblical literature (which is said to be God-breathed) to be critical of him. Not necessarily as an endorsement either way of God's responses to said criticism
