Whether it is befitting to the Divine Nature to assume?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that it is not befitting to the Divine Nature to assume. Because, as was said above (Article [1]), to assume is to take to oneself. But the Divine Nature did not take to Itself human nature, for the union did not take place in the nature, as was said above (Question [2], Articles [1],3). Hence it is not befitting to the Divine Nature to assume human nature.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, the Divine Nature is common to the three Persons. If, therefore, it is befitting to the Divine Nature to assume, it consequently is befitting to the three Persons; and thus the Father assumed human nature even as the Son, which is erroneous.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, to assume is to act. But to act befits a person, not a nature, which is rather taken to be the principle by which the agent acts. Therefore to assume is not befitting to the nature.
