It was just dangling out there, wasn't it! That was the humanity of Jesus, not from the Deity.

The emotions so attributed to God in the OT are all part of the language of accomodation, using some known concept to explain an unknown concept.

My wife loves me. This involves (thought it is not exhausted by) emotion. Fond feelings, enthusiasm, sympathy, pity--that sort of thing.

Allegedly, God also loves me. If so, does his love for me really not involve emotion? If it doesn't, what sense can I attach to the phrase "God loves me"?

Do all theists agree that God does not emote?

Didn't He say, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated"?

So, is that it then? Every theist here believes that God does not feel emotion?

What a lacklustre God that is!

God feels emotion. What's the problem with that?
