Are God's feelings ever hurt?

Answer 1

Everyday

Answer 2

Yes they are.
Genesis 6:5-6 Consequently Jehovah saw that the badness of man was abundant in the earth and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time. 6 And Jehovah felt regrets that he had made men in the earth, and he felt hurt at his heart.
Jehovah also felt distressed when his own people, the ancient nation of Israel, persistently ignored his feelings and his loving direction. The psalmist lamented: “How often they would rebel against him in the wilderness, they would make him feel hurt in the desert! And again and again they would put God to the test, and they pained even the Holy One of Israel.” Yet, “he was merciful; he would cover the error and not bring ruin. And many times he made his anger turn back, and he would not rouse up all his rage.” (Psalm 78:38-41) Even though the rebellious Israelites rightly suffered the consequences of their own sinfulness, the Bible tells us that “during all their distress it was distressing to [God].”—Isaiah 63:9.

Answer 3

Ummm if you have children and one was doing things that were going to hurt them would you be hurt?

If you care about someone and they did get hurt and you went to help them and they told you to get away, they do not want to talk to you again, would you be hurt?

If a loved one was taking advise from someone that told them taking drugs was cool, or getting them to commit a crime. would you be hurt?

One last question, suppose someone you loved needed a car and sacrificed to give them a brand new fancy car..but they wanted a Dodge Viper so they started smashing that car with a hammer

My friend, this is exactly what many of us have done to GOD.

Does God get hurt? I contend HE is hurt every time someone rejects the most valuable gift ever given...Jesus Christ. I contend that it breaks His heart:

Ezekiel 33:11

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

God does get hurt when one dies without Christ!

Answer 4

You speak of God like so many others--you give Him human qualities and that's hard not to do--I even called God 'Him' No, God's feelings are never hurt, because to be 'hurt' one must be disappointed. In order to be disappointed, one must have hoped for an outcome of some sort. To hope for an outcome means you would not know what the outcome would be, and that implies God has no knowledge of the outcome. But God knows everything so he already knows the outcome, according to the way we define God. So put that in your incense burner, and smoke it.

Answer 5

Not very likely, but if there is a god I like to think that He doesn't approve of religion - because it makes him look bad and it makes people believe that the almighty can be hurt in some way by his own creation.

Answer 6

Probably they're permanently hurt. Here he made this beautiful world for us and we use and abuse it and each other with no compunction, or compunction that comes too little and too late.

Alice Walker once said something on the lines of, "I think it pisses G!d off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."

It's a beautiful world; we should maybe say thanks more often and be more respectful. I like thinking an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good G!d is still a little vulnerable and cares what we think. Good question.

Answer 7

Many believe that as we are made in the image of God that means we're speaking about his essance, his sense of self, emotion, logic.

Thesis: The image of God refers to intellectual and relational abilities not found in animals --- the ability to think and reason, specifically to make moral decisions. Our ability has been corrupted by sin, but humans still have the potential for morality.

So yes, I think God can be hurt.

Answer 8

I believe that God does feel sadness. Have you ever wanted to spend time with someone and they're to busy or they just don't want to? How did that make you feel ? We are created in His image so I would think He would feel the same way you did.

Answer 9

God sees everything on a molecular level. He sees a rock, a pool, a human, and oxygen as if we were looking thru a powerful microscope. he sees humans fight similar to bacteria attacking. God is bigger than human emotions, God created all that exsists, therefore he cant be hurt. If Gods feelings get hurt, then God is human.

Answer 10

Of course ! Genesis 6 : it grieved God that he created man... man's thoughts were continually evil that was why he had to destroy the old world with the flood....and as it was in the days of Noah ,so shall it be in the LAST DAYS...Matthew 24....Moreover, Jesus WEPT when he looked at Jerusalem and saw what was to become of this city and the heartened hearted ( Jews ) ....In Ezekiels 18 : 32 ... God has NO pleasure in the death of the wicked...etc.. May God Bless you

Answer 11

according to some theologists, that would be impossible, since everything we do and everything that's happened and everything that will happen in the future are all part of God's plan. how could His feelings be hurt if He knew and meant for whatever happened to happen to begin with? yeah, God has feelings, i'm sure, but how could they be hurt if "everything happens for a reason?" gotta go for a big negative here babe.
