Impossible. If he's omniscient he cannot show any emotions, as they are a reaction to new knowledge.
emotion An affective state of conciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like is experienced: distinguished from the cognitive and volitional states of conciousness; any of the feelings of joy, sorrow, fear, hate, love, or the like; any agitated ir intense state of mind, usually with concurrent physiological changes; an occurance of this; that which brings about any intense state of feeling.
Nope. Nothing in there about emotions being reactions to new knowledge.

He's in front of you, I thought no one can see his face and live? O wait, Moses did.
"And the Lord said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. But, " hesaid, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." Then the Lord said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen." Exodus 33:19-23
Nope. No face-gazing here.

False. He cannot show any emotions. The mere fact that the Bible God shows various emotions, and is supposedly omniscient, shows that he is non-existant.
See the definition of emotion provided.

I see why you think we have free will. But it is impossible if God is the omniscient creator diety. Say I plan to go to work in 2 hours, but while I'm driving, I turn around as I forgot something. An omniscient God already knows this, so I must do this. Just like I said before, He knew thousands of years ago that I would type this sentence, and I think that I am choosing to type this, but I'm only doing what he already knows.
omniscience is not the same as predestination.

Please if you cannot present at least semi-intelligent counterclaims, please refrain from posting anything. It just wastes my time as I must respond to them.
:2funny: Good advice! You might try following it.

Uhh, the bible states that we all have a destiny, and we cannot do anything to change it, not to mention it also states he works out a day of disaster for the wicked. That sounds alot like he knows some are going to hell.
Chapter and verse for "we can't change our destiny"

Nope. The carpenter says all you must do to set foot in the heavenly abode is follow a few commandments, none involve worshipping him or the skydaddy.
