Whether there is procession in God?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that there cannot be any procession in God. For procession signifies outward movement. But in God there is nothing mobile, nor anything extraneous. Therefore neither is there procession in God.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, everything which proceeds differs from that whence it proceeds. But in God there is no diversity; but supreme simplicity. Therefore in God there is no procession.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, to proceed from another seems to be against the nature of the first principle. But God is the first principle, as shown above (Question [2], Article [3]). Therefore in God there is no procession.
