The Bible makes clear that Jehovah has deep feelings that are stirred by the good or the bad actions of humans. For example, when the Israelites repeatedly rebelled, Jehovah was "pained." (Psalm 78:40, 41) Before the Deluge of Noah's day, when "the badness of man was abundant," Jehovah "felt hurt at his heart." (Genesis 6:5, 6) Think about what this means. If you adopted a wrong course, you could cause your Creator to feel pain. This does not mean that God is weak or is ruled by emotion. Rather, he loves you and cares about your welfare. On the other hand, when you do what is right, Jehovah's heart rejoices. He is happy not only because he has a further reply to give to Satan but also because he can now become your Rewarder. And that is something he wants to become. (Hebrews 11:6)

Yes He does. Pleasure when a lost soul finds salvation through His Son. Anger when people harm His children. Hurt and loss when His children turn away from Him and decide to go down a different path.

Yes to all of them.
God’s form is unknown to man. (Deuteronomy 4:15-20) But man was made in Jehovah’s image and likeness in that he was created with such attributes of God as justice, wisdom, power and love. (Deuteronomy 32:4; Job 12:13; Isaiah 40:26; 1Â John 4:8)
For example, does it bother you to see innocent people suffer? If you care about such injustices, be assured that God feels even more strongly about them.
One of the best things about humans is our ability to love. That also reflects God. The Bible teaches that “God is love.” (1Â John 4:8) We love because God loves. Would love move you to end the suffering and the injustice you see in the world? If you had the power to do that, would you do it? Of course you would! You can be just as sure that God will end suffering and injustice. God’s promises are sure to come true!

I would say yes to all those and more. After all He made us in His own image.
There is plenty in the Bible about these things, but there is no substitute for being blessed with a specific revelation of how God "feels" about something in particular.
God has blessed me with some dreams that have left me in no doubt concerning some of these things, and yet I am certain that my heart could not have handled the full extent of the depth of His feelings.
A very real relationship with Jesus is only a prayer away for those who would believe in Him and confess Him to be their Lord and Savior.

Do you feel pleasure, pain, hurt? You were created in his image. Therefore yes he can feel. For example at the crucifixion of Christ it is stated. "Father why hast thou forsaken me."
If you are a father can you imagin the pain you would feel knowing that you had to sacrifice your son to save the souls of all your other children.
I would have hid in the farthest corner of the universe and cried like a little baby rather than watch.

God created us to be emotional beings. God must feel these also, since we are made in God's image; body, soul & spirit.

I don't believe God needs human emotions.

Yes
scriptures says He feels all that we do, and it even says He cries because of our decisions to reject Him.
