Anthropomorphism and Anthropopathism

We have begun our study of the Impassibility of God by speaking about His unchangeability; what theologians call His immutability. In order to rightly understand the doctrine of God we must realize that in His essential Being God never changes in regard to what He thinks and feels, and in regard to His decrees; His purposes and plans which have been formed from all of eternity. And in order to come to a greater and more Biblical understanding of Divine Immutability and Divine Impassibility, it will be important for us to add a few descriptive definitions to our understanding and our vocabulary. Two of these words which we will need to add are Anthropomorphism and Anthropopathism.
