Let us suppose God has feelings.
If man has the power to change God's feelings, then man is more powerful than God with respect to controlling God's feelings. Since there exists a power that man has and God doesn't, God cannot be omnipotent.

No I said that God could feel pain, His caring for His own is enough to

I never said it either, though. In fact, I denied it, saying that I don't believe
my forgetting the Sabbath necessarily causes pain to anybody.
RBHILL is the one that made the claim that God feels pain when His
commandments are broken. I took your first post here as an implicit
adoption of his position.
It's hard to keep the record straight when Ivanhoe intervenes with his
childish outbursts.
