If you were ALL-powerful and ALL-wise, would you allow yourself to become angry, sad, disappointed, hurt, or frustrated? Why would this be a component of God's experience?

Why can't God ever get angry- just because He is all-powerful does not mean He cannot or should not get angry- when God gets angry though it is SO unlike our anger- He is always righteous in His anger. We get angry over stuff we should not. Also why can't God get sad- what saddens Him the most is the fact, that He loves the WHOLE world and they will not accept the sacrificial death of His Son for payment of our sins. Being ALL-wise- he would have a greater reason to be sad and angry at times, because He would use those emotions wisely- not just of His own good. Does that help at all?

He is sad and upset because humans are killing, raping, and hurting each other. We are wrecking our land and our lives.
It's like watching a group of two year-olds. You are angered and frustrated when they throw a tantrum over nothing and are disappointed when they don't follow or listen to you. For example, you may tell a small child to never touch the stove because it is hot and it will burn them. What do they do? They touch the stove! I'm sure God felt the same way about the Garden of Eden. He tells them not to eat from the tree and then they go and eat from the tree!

A perfect being can not be sad, angry, or frustrated.
Those are signs of imperfect beings that have needs and desires.
Just one more contradictory characteristic of the abrahamic god.

The "omnis" were not a part of early Judaic belief, so not all of the Bible represents the same deity.

Because when the Christian God was invented, people had a nasty habit of anthropomorphizing their gods.

When Peter asked how many times he should forgive his brother, Jesus answered him saying that he should forgive his brother seventy-seven times. It is not an easy thing to do to even forgive once, but Jesus tells us that we should be prepared to forgive as often as is necessary.

He doesn't. That is merely humans trying to super-impose their own qualities onto a deity that is far above that.

Don't forget, he is a jealous god too.
