Do you think God has all the same emotions that we have?

If God has only love and Satan has only hate, then what is the God of jealously, fear, curiosity, etc.

    There are no gods of this, that and the other. There is one God and He is Jehovah and He is a God of love.  His only begotten Son is Jesus Christ and He bore the punishment for sin so that we do not have to do that, but that was a gift which we must ACCEPT for it to be of use to us.  God has given us free will.  He is a gentleman who does not force his good choices onto us, He allows us to wander from the straight and narrow if we choose to do so but he warns us that consequences follow bad behaviour.

    Hate, jealousy, fear and all other emotions are there for us to tap into if we choose to do so but He also gives us emotions of joy, peace, love, happiness.  If we choose to push those good emotions to one side and dwell on the negative all the time then we bring about our own doom and will never be truly happy.

    When in doubt about anything, cease what you are doing and ask God for help.  That is what HE wants you to do.

    Many of the emotions we experience are weaknesses or imperfections or even sins. God is not capable of any such things.

    Yes, but not the negative ones.  His love is stronger, his faith steadier, his friendship constant.  Jealousy?  I think he allowed things to be written that way because we understand jealousy.

    'God' has all of the emotions that the people who wrote the bible gave him - unfortunately they chose to impart him with their worst character defects, like anger, wrath, jealousy, etc.

    Things that an all-powerful creator of the universe would have no use for.

    Human descriptions of God always fall short. Even the biblical descriptions.

    Since all gods are myths you can pretend either way.

    Have you read the Old Testament? That God bloke is a mad, vindictive bastard. So much smiting.

    Gods like any other fictional character don't have emotions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Yes, according to the bible he created humans in his image.
