Description
Abstract: According to classical theism, impassibility is said to be systematically
connected to divine attributes like timelessness, immutability, simplicity, aseity,
and self-sufficiency. In some interesting way, these attributes are meant to
explain why the impassible God cannot suffer. I shall argue that these attributes
do not explain why the impassible God cannot suffer. In order to understand
why the impassible God cannot suffer, one must examine the emotional life of the
impassible God. I shall argue that the necessarily happy emotional life of the
classical God explains why the impassible God cannot suffer.
Keywords: Impassibility, Timelessness, Immutability, Simplicity, God
