But some human emotions are grounded in our finitude or fallenness. Our sin. Our hormones. Our embodiedness. Our shortsightedness. Our disappointments and frustrations. Ilness. Loneliness. And so on and so forth. <BR/><BR/>It's not possible for an omniscient, omnipotent, incorporeal Being to have these emotions. Other emotions, yes—but not these.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-47658235215473740042008-05-19T13:10:00.000-04:002008-05-19T13:10:00.000-04:00I'm going to ask something only tangentially relat...I'm going to ask something only tangentially related to the topic at hand if I may...you mentioned anthropopathisms. I remember you had mentioned in the combox of an earlier post that you regard references to God's emotions in Scripture as anthropopathic.<BR/><BR/>Now, most of the references that I've seen to anthropoathisms in the past have been with regard to God's immutibility. God doesn't actually change His mind, or fly into rages, or become overwhelmed suddenly with grief. God has emotions, but they are constant and unchanging. Now, if I read you correctly, you seem to be saying that the emotions themselves are anthropopathic. Meaning, I suppose that God...doesn't have emotions at all? Or perhaps that His emotions aren't like our emotions? Any clarification would help.Matheteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527032591499860552noreply@blogger.com
