- Whether love exists in God?
Whether love exists in God?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It seems that love does not exist in God. For in God there are no passions. Now love is a passion. Therefore love is not in God.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, love, anger, sorrow and the like, are mutually divided against one another. But sorrow and anger are not attributed to God, unless by metaphor. Therefore neither is love attributed to Him.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, Dionysius says (Div. Nom. iv): "Love is a uniting and binding force." But this cannot take place in God, since He is simple. Therefore love does not exist in God.
