God is omnipotent (i.e, all-powerful) and omniscient (i.e., all-knowing).
Emotions are feelings that come from a reaction (i.e, feelings have a cause that result in them - they are a reaction to something).
God is omniscient, therefore he cannot have reactory feelings - he already knows what will happen. (Disregard that the bible god has (human) emotions.)
If God is also omnipotent, can he MAKE himself have reactory feelings - thus, MAKE himself NOT be omniscient?
(This is kind of one of those 'can God make a rock so heavy even he can't lift it?' things... sort of.)

If God can't make himself NOT omniscient - whether he wants to or not - then that means he is NOT OMNIPOTENT.

Better yet, if god is omniscient, why create a life that he knows he will send to hell?
Simple facts:
1. If god is omniscient, free will cannot exist and we do not choose our paths as they have already happened, god has seen them.
2. If god is all loving, he is not omniscient, because all loving denotes unconditional love... not love based on belief (would you send your child to hell for disobeying you?)
3. If god is all good, then no evil can exist... All good would denote an absense of evil, therefore where could evil come from?

How do you anticipate to verify Him? Do you think of your worth to possess His presence - isn't that slightly presumptuous? Many rational thinkers in each and all ages HAVE stumbled on Him. of course He does not cover Himself that nicely if it replaced into ever His purpose to cover Himself interior the 1st place. "If God does exist and he's omniscient and all-powerful, he knows precisely a thank you to bare himself to rational thinkers, yet he refuses to take action." - according to danger they don't look to be as rational as they declare or maybe there is extra to them than purely a suggestions. If something is arrived at by using reason - like the reply to a sum - you do not anticipate all of us to get the respond? Many will flow incorrect of their reasoning. it somewhat is why reason on my own is a detrimental enterprise.

Nothing is impossible for God to do. He has placed certain limitations on Himself(such as lying).
Many things are impossible for us to figure out. This limitation on our part(as finite beings),implies no limitation on God's part as an infinate being.(there are things that He wills not to do,there is no thing that he can not do).
The simple answer to the question is;..Yes,He can.

Since God and Jesus or in heaven and all we have is the spirit of God to guide us. i don't waste my time thinking about such weird stuff as what you ask.what could it possibly matter spiritually.?ask the spirit of god into you with love and faith.and ask of IT,and listen for the answers which Will come in a very quiet voice and do Gods will.this is what Jesus said to do.and thats about it.all that other stuff in the bible is just filler.

When i was in college I used to ask questions like that all the time. Eventually I found that they are really not answerable questions, and the limitations of our brains and language cant fully express or understand the true nature of God.

Mightily, mightily can we become deceived, when we try to bring God down to a level of human intellect. It can't be done.

Why would God want to and it has no bearing on his purpose. God can never become lesser than his creations

My wife closes her eyes when the movie she's looking at is about to show something she doesn't want to see, yet, she could tells you all about the movie. If she could do that...
