Does Good feel pain? Does He get his feelings hurt?

This subject was taught by Ray in Does God Learn.
You ask , “ has God ever made a mlstake on a Godly level.
The very word Godly is perfection. You don’t make mistakes when you reach
perfection. But as Ray asks in his teaching “ did God have to go through something
to reach perfection? We don’t know what God went through.”
As for pain… God created evil, Isaiah 45:7, without evil there would be no pain.
A future I look forward to.
From Myth of free Will Pt C
God created Ra , evil, furthermore God used evil and continues to use evil
against His creatures all day long.( this causes pain)
Understand that I take no emotional pleasure in teaching these truths other than that they are absolutely necessary if we are to understand the deeper ways of God
with His creatures . But I will hasten to add that like all of Gods deeper truths,
they can only be decerned spiritually by the Spirit of God.
The carnal mind cannot and will not understand these truths.
Because the carnal mind is enmity ( a deep seated hatred against God)
for it is not subject to the ( spiritual) law of God, neither indeed can be.
The parable of Joseph is is an amazing example of how God uses evil to
bring about good.
We as sinning machines know we are sinners, but we have to know what we are.
From MOFW Pt A… The man of sin is a beast who thinks he is a God, 2 Thes. 2:4
And even the disciples did not recognize the beast within. What was it that made them forsake Jesus? Fear of the Roman soldiers was the circumstance that caused
their ( unfree wills) to change.
Humanity is a beast , individually and collectively. The carnal mind has got to go.
It’s a painful experience , this experience of evil , but it’s necessary.
May our Lord give us endurance and wisdom to overcome this world, as He did.
God Bless our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

the Almighty is I AM ,not I used to be... but I've developed, or I hope to be more in the future. When He created the heavens and earth all was according to his perfect will/plan nothing could have been added to it or left out that would have improved it in any way...in my humble opinion
Dave in Tenn:
Now Dave,here is a tricky one: Has God EVER made a mistake on a Godly level?
Like during creation of all, do you think he made a mistake somewhere and went back and fixed it? Does He MODIFY during creation?
"To make a mistake" is one of the main definitions of "sin". So no, I don't think God made a mistake somewhere. He works all things according to the counsel of His own will.
The question is hard to answer the way it's asked because I don't believe that God was or is ever "outside" His creation tinkering. He's never "outside" His creation period.
In case you might ask: I don't think "sinning" is one of man's fundamental attributes. "Having a mark" is. "Missing it" is just something that's true about us, presently. But I don't want to quibble.
