God's emotions: Anthropopathism
My view is that Yah is above emotions and the feelings, we men feel. Although the language of feelings and emotions are used through out the Bible in connection with Yah, we have to reconcile that with the fact that our finite brain cannot comprehend the full nature of our Creator. These are but words with meaning we can comprehend to describe to us His intent and character. The figure of speech is that of anthropopathic, ascribing to human emotions.
Although there are several verses in the Bible attributing human emotion language to Yah, we need to accommodate those with the below passages:
- [James1:13] Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
- [Num23:19] God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
- [Titus1:2] In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
- [Isa27:4] I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would march against them, I would burn them up together.
