Google's definition of emotion

a strong feeling deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

God cannot be in a circumstance. He is connected to all things

So he is incapable of emotion.

Only love for all

Your answer is brief and inspiring.

But, let us push the question a bit further to see it from another positive perspective.

Hebrews 4:15-16 said; For we do not have an high priest which can not be touched with the feelings of our infirmities........ So God knows what we are going through at all point because, when Jesus was on earth, he was also tempted the way you and I are being tempted today. He was tempted to commit fornication, injustice, stealing etc but He escaped all the pitfalls of life and emerged victorious over all of them.

God almighty is not an emotional God, but he has emotions.

Remember God is Love, we will have to separate LOVE (which is one of His nature) from God before we can have a God that can not be touched with the feelings of our infirmities.

God is also a jealous God..... Read Zechariah 1vs 14-17.
Jealousy is always an integral part of our emotions.


It is only on the throne of judgement that God Almighty can be less emotional because he's a righteous God that will not reward good for evil and vice versa

I will appreciate it if you can give two or three biblical references to substantiate and validate your answer.

Shalom!

John 11:33
"When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,"

John 11:35
"Jesus wept."

No sir!

I don't practice religion. If that's what you mean.

God feels our Joy, Happiness and Pains. So God is cultural, ethical, emotional and sentimental.

Hebrews 4:15-16 said; For we do not have an high priest which can not be touched with the feelings of our infirmities........ So God knows what we are going through at all point

Yes, God is all knowing because he is you,me and everything else in this world and the spirit worlds

He knows what you are feeling and going through to be imperfections which is one of the sole purpose of the soul on Earth to bring this state of imbalance to total control (mastering the ego)

because, when Jesus was on earth, he was also tempted the way you and I are being tempted today. He was tempted to commit fornication, injustice, stealing etc but He escaped all the pitfalls of life and emerged victorious over all of them.

Yes Yeshua mastered the ego(biblical code:the devil) through his self realisation (God within him)

God almighty is not an emotional God, but he has emotions.

By this you mean he is aware but decides not to show them? God starts and finishes, no halfway! God knows and manifests no processing! God does not think in human term has someone deciding to do. It is done! God does not "show" emotions because he doesn't have them! But he knows emotions because he is part of you(an aspect of God that is learning which will eventually become God)

Like Jeshua became God. We are all destined to become God. But will happen after so many almost countless painful reincarnation(biblical code: everlasting fire) on Earth for the "purification of the soul".

Remember God is Love, we will have to separate LOVE (which is one of His nature) from God before we can have a God that can not be touched with the feelings of our infirmities.

The love of God for you is not the "human love", the "love" of God is absolute! You are currently speaking as a result of that power of love holding everything in place.

The problem of today(since the departure of "the son of man" till now) is that we don't know what the Bible is

The Bible is a book of initiation, metaphysics and spiritual evolution. Not to be approached with flesh and blood but water and spirit.

God is also a jealous God..... Read Zechariah 1vs 14-17.
Jealousy is always an integral part of our emotions.

The old testament was made so that the people of that age could relate to the concept of God. Again jealousy written in the Bible is a form of code. It's a human characteristic so that they can relate with. A form of "brain wash".

I just returned to civilisation moment ago only to discover you have mentioned me.

Well I enjoyed going through your responses and I gained more knowledge about the subject GOD. At least no man is an island of knowledge. Thanks

But I also discovered that, your understanding of GOD does not depend solely on the Bible..... Like you have access to some esoteric religion book? Just being curious!

Welcome back

Seek and ye shall find

Yes I have come upon some materials, some helped some didn't. I learnt how to separate the wheat from the chaff. Don't get it wrong the Bible, esp. the story surrounding Jesus birth and crucifixion is wrapped around the Egyptian god called Horus!
