Whether in Christ there was a will of sensuality besides the will of reason?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that in Christ there was no will of sensuality besides the will of reason. For the Philosopher says (De Anima iii, text. 42) that "the will is in the reason, and in the sensitive appetite are the irascible and concupiscible parts." Now sensuality signifies the sensitive appetite. Hence in Christ there was no will of sensuality.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, according to Augustine (De Trin. xii, 12,13) the sensuality is signified by the serpent. But there was nothing serpent-like in Christ; for He had the likeness of a venomous animal without the venom, as Augustine says (De Pecc. Merit. et Remiss. i, 32). Hence in Christ there was no will of sensuality.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, will is consequent upon nature, as was said (Article [1]). But in Christ there was only one nature besides the Divine. Hence in Christ there was only one human will.
