sansfear: Maybe, but if he's omnipotent he could immediately remedy all of those problems.

sansfear: Hope is something that requires the possibilty that things may not go the way you want in the future. This possibility doesn't exist for an omnipotent god.

I didn;t ask if he can have feelings, I asked if he can have THESE feelings.

All of these plus the idea of sin and the one sho nuf added assume a God that can be surprised by our actions.
What kind of a know nothing God would that be?

He has anger (Leviticus 10, 11:10; Numbers 22:22; Job 42:7; Psalm 78:21, Isaiah 34, consider the sentiment of Psalm 2 when reading it, etc.). He has sorrow (Genesis 6:6). He has joy (Nehemiah 8:10, Psalm 35:27, "The LORD be exalted, who DELIGHTS in the well-being of his servant"). He has love (Exodus 34:6, Numbers 14:18, Deuteronomy 7:8-12, 1 Chronicles 16:34, 2 Chronicles 2:11, Nehemiah 1:5, Psalm 6:4, etc. ).

Surprise and Worry are two, I don't believe He encounters...
He hopes the world will accept the free gift of salvation, but He knows...
Anger was demonstrated several times in the Bible.
Disappointment. I imagine just as earthly fathers who see their children turn down paths toward destruction. He is disappointed a lot.
Much like the father of the prodigal son... When he saw that his son was returning home, he ran out to him and before the son could say, "I'm no longer worthy to be called your son, would you accept me as a servant..." He throws his best robe around him and puts his ring on his finger... As if to say, "This is MY SON, whom I love dearly!!!"
When a Christian gets in the way and tries to insert his own abilities and knowledge on the issue. Like the person who wants to see a sinner turn from sin and become a Christian. He may try to throw some extra "enlightenment" instead of letting the Holy Spirit move within the person. The Bible says, that there will be some that sow, some that reap, some water...
We, sometimes as repentant sinners, will want the vain glory of turning someone. It's not up to us, but we still botch it up. Sometimes, I assume God will be disappointed in our actions.
Thankfully, God is forgiving and patient, slow to anger...

Ummm... emotions are weaknesses- they suggest desire, surprise, uncertainty.... none of these fit in with the definition of omniscience (all knowing).
1. Hope - you wouldn't need hope if you knew the future.
2. Anger- you wouldn't get angry if you knew ahead of time what was coming and had time to compensate.
3. Disappointment- same as hope and anger.
4. Surprise- boring as it is, having knowledge of time kind of kills this!
5. Worry?- same as the rest.
That kind of takes the omniscient part out!

Yes, he is omnisient and I am not...so I cannot know what God feels or does not feel. He's is not in our realm.
But, my guess (as insignificant as that is) would be that only number 2 would apply.
The others all imply a time when God did not know something and therefore he would feel that emotion. That would be impossible.

Emotions are properties of the lower worlds. They are there to ensure that we thoroughly understand the meaning of DIVINE LOVE, which is above the emotions, as we make our way back to God. A sign of advancing spiritual mastery is when we are no longer unduly affected by the emotions. Please do not think this means we no longer show affection.
It is inconceivable therefore that God, who resides in the highest world, would exhibit emotions (of the lower worlds), when ordinary mortals like you and me can learn to overcome them.

You forgot jealousy.
An omniscient God would not. In fact an omniscient God could not. That would make him less than omnipotent though. I guess he would have to feign it.

An omniscient, omnipotent being, cannot, by definition, actually exist.
It's like an immortal man, who doesn't need a body, since a body is made for survival. Ergo, no immortal person can exist.
