Titel: The Triune God: Systematics

Stichwort: Argument: Emanation des Wortes - der Liebe; der Geist erfüllt nicht die Bedingung der Zeugung (Ähnlichkeit); Beispiel: Rippe, Eva

Kurzinhalt: For the emanation of love does not lead to the formation of a likeness of a thing but to constituting an impulse toward or adhesion to the thing itself for its own sake.

Textausschnitt: Argument

201c If in an emanation everything pertaining to the formality of generation is verified, then that emanation is generation in the proper sense. (Fs)

But everything pertaining to the formality of generation is verified in the divine emanation of the Word, but not in the divine emanation of Love. (Fs)

Therefore, the divine emanation of the Word is generation in the proper sense, but the divine emanation of Love is not. (Fs)
The major premise is evident, and the minor is proved part by part. (Fs)
The divine emanation of the Word is an origin, for every emanation is an origin. (Fs)

The divine emanation of the Word is an origin of one living, for God is living and the divine Word is God. (Fs)

The divine emanation of the Word is the origin of one living from a living principle, for God is living, and the principle of the Word or the Speaker is God. (Fs)

The divine emanation of the Word is the origin of one living from a conjoined living principle, for what are within the same consciousness as the principle and term of an emanation are conjoined. (Fs)

201d The divine emanation of the Word is the origin of one living from a conjoined living principle resulting in a likeness, for by reason of the emanation itself of the Word, the Word proceeds as forming a true likeness. (Fs)

203a The divine emanation of the Word is the origin of one living from a conjoined living principle with a resulting likeness in nature, for God's intentional act of existence is the same as God's natural act of existence; so, although all other true words are likenesses only with respect to an intentional act of existence, the Word of God, from the very fact that it is likeness in intentional act of existence, necessarily also is likeness in natural act of existence. (Fs)

203b The divine emanation of Love, on the other hand, even though it is the origin of one living from a conjoined living principle, even though through this emanation God originates in accordance with God's natural act of existence, nevertheless one element of generation in the proper sense is lacking, and that a necessary one. For the emanation of love does not lead to the formation of a likeness of a thing but to constituting an impulse toward or adhesion to the thing itself for its own sake. Therefore, although there does originate from this emanation something that is similar in nature, just as Eve was similar in nature to Adam, nevertheless the formal intelligibility of this emanation does not lead to the constitution of likeness, just as the rib taken from Adam's side proceeded to the formation of Eve not on account of the intrinsic formality pertaining to the rib, but from the supervening power of God.
