Do you believe in a God who is swayed by passions The fact that God is passionate does not imply that He can be swayed by the passions of others. His passions are perfect and self-contained and resolute.
In fact, it is the passion of God that sways men.

The fact that God is passionate does not imply that He can be swayed by the passions of others Passions assigned to God are anthropomorphisms. I would think that the Portestant community would understand that. I was wrong, but not surprised.
