God's emotions

[rinnie]

Yes, Jesus certainly had emotions as to his human nature but not as to his divine nature.

I never once denied that Jesus through his human nature had emotions. He was FULLY HUMAN. However Divinity cannot have emotions and so therefore In His Divine Nature, just as with the Father and the Holy Spirit, there are no emotions.

The Church Fathers explained this quite clearly:

The Divine Nature was not in itself changed by the incarnation. The natures did not MIX, they were simply united in the one Person: Jesus.

See this answer from CAF apologist Michelle Arnold:

As you can see from my ample references (patristic sources and apologetics) I do not lie.

But was the question not does God have emotions? Is Jesus not indeed God? God is the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Christ is fully God, Christ is human and yes Divine.

So God would indeed have human emotions in the person of the Son which is human and Divine.

Emotions are yes a human response, but God is human in the name of the Son.

Trinity is the short answer. God the Father proceeds from No one, Gods essence can never be reached by human standards nor by angels. Only the Son knows the Father and has seen Him (John 1:18). The Son reveals the Father, thus the Word which you are reading is what proceeds from the Father. It is God the Holy Spirit that proceeds from the Father and the Son (Word) who declares what the Father and the Son gives him or sends him to declare to you what is Truth see John 16:13-15. God is Spirit, God is love the answer that helps our understanding is Gods name is IAM THAT IAM. God is everything and anything my humanity and soul need him to be for me in order that I might have life eternal. The biblical emotions attributed to God is revealed from the sent Word of God who is God and who is with God, not the essence of God. God has full knowledge, wisdom of emotions but God himself is never an emotion. What proceeds from God is His Son who reveals His Father and your Father in word and understanding (revelation) that we can comprehend in human terms, see 1 Cor.2:12-13

But Gabriel Jesus is still God. Fully God Fully Man, Human and Divine. So I believe the answer would be that yes God indeed has emotions in the name of the Son the second Person of the Trinity.

Nice hearing from you, Hope all is well with the family

Your statement about God dividing the light from the darkness seems odd since this is also in Genesis, “And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness” (Gen 1:4).

Thanks for pointing that out, Janderich. It’s just as strange there! Maybe the writer was trying to be poetic. It reminds me of the Norse myth of a world of fire and ice that somehow came into contact or nearly into contact for some untold ages. Anyway, I don’t believe that God or anyone literally “divides” light from darkness.

Respectfully, as I said, believe what you want about the Book of Moses. I was presenting the reasoning.

And as I said, in response to your charge to not to ignore reasoning (“Now believe the above scripture or not but don’t ignore the reasoning”), agreeing with you:

Of course God has emotions.

As I also said in your companion charge to believe what I want about the Book of Moses (“Now believe the above scripture or not but don’t ignore the reasoning”), disagreeing with you:

However, I do not believe that the so-called book of Moses in the Mormon “Pearl of Great Price” is genuine scripture.

If you are going to bring up scripture or pseudo-scripture or new scripture or anything else presented as sacred, holy, a revelation from God, or anything like that, you are opening your reliance on such references to a response. It is not just that your main contention will be addressed, but peripheral issues may also be addressed. And in this case, the status of the “Book of Moses” is hardly peripheral.

Hi rinnie good to hear from you. I totally agree with your post when God incarnate is revealing. In the old testament both the Son and the Holy Spirit were not revealed yet. Thus the emotions attributed to God in heaven were revealed by His Word. Because the the Father does not proceed from no one the mystery of emotions comes to us through His Word that reveals spiritual realities described in spiritual terms. When God takes on our flesh Jesus fully human in every way except Sin amen.
