Does God have feelings?

"Man is trying to create God in his own image"

With 'feelings' and 'jealousy' and 'anger'... yup, the religions that have attributes for a 'god' (Xtianity, for one) is merely creating 'It' in their own image with a bunch of gratuitous 'omnis', just like us but 'more' so!!
There are no attributes...

Humans wanted a larger role and model,
So we painted our feelings on God’s will.
Infinitely magnified, He crashed our skies;
Wih friends like that we need not enemies.

^^^ 'God' has no more 'will' than we do. Just another 'anthropomorphisation'; we tend, also, to attribute our 'egoic fantasies' to the 'god' we 'create'!

I guess we created Frankenstein, as our will had to do, natural selection evolving us to look for intent first and worry about the constitution of it later or never.

If we have feelings than God has feelings.

Hi Prof, I had a feeling that God was made in our image. One one of our really bad days we created the Devil.

If God created man and God is omnipotent, then man can't "try" to do anything they can only do what they were meant to do. But than again "if" is the biggest little word in the dictionary

Yup! Kinda like when hammer hits thumb (Perspective/experience/us), head (Consciousness/God/Experiencer) 'knows' pain!

God/Source is the experiencing of Itself as individuated expression through it's own creation,
and to know and experience Itself directly as both the creator and the creation.
