What do you think of process theology, and does God really have emotions?

Process theology is a total waste of time; it's a rejection of biblical theology. Process theology means God is in the process of learning; he doesn't know everything. He learns from his experience with human beings, and he'll be forever learning, never coming to ultimate knowledge. That is dead wrong, so I have no sympathy for process theology. God having emotions is another topic entirely; it has to do with what Scripture says about God. It is crystal clear in Scripture that God attributes emotions to his divinity, and we're not talking about Jesus Christ here, because he was both God and man. We know that as human beings we have intellect, will, and emotion. If we attribute intellect to God, it's perfect; if we attribute will to God, it's perfect; and if we attribute emotion to God, it has to be perfect too, true emotion with no underlying motives. If God sees an obedient man, is God joyful? Scripture says God is joyful over people who are obedient. If that's not real joy, then Scripture is lying to us. And who says emotion cannot be attributed to God? Some of the fathers said that and some didn't; they're split right down the middle. When you come to Thomas Aquinas, he got his information not from the fathers but from Aristotle, a pagan who lived 300 years before the fathers. Aristotle's view was that emotion occurs because of how we're made in our bodies, our physiology, when the blood rushes around the heart. So for Aristotle emotion is physiological, not ontological, not a seat of your being like intellect and will. Since Aquinas believed emotion is physiological, and God doesn't have a body, then God can't have emotions. He's right in that sense: if emotion is merely physiological, don't attribute it to God. But if he's wrong about how to define emotion, and emotion is ontological, then God without a body can have emotions, just like the angels can. Matthew tells us the angels sang with joy when Christ was born; you can't sing without joy. So you don't have to have a body to have emotion. Anytime we read of God having an emotion, people say it's metaphorical. No. Your metaphysics cannot overrule what Scripture says; it has to coordinate with Scripture. In Exodus 4:14, Moses complains to God that he can't speak, and it says God became angry with Moses. And what did God's anger do? He didn't punish Moses; he said, all right, we'll get Aaron your brother to talk for you, but you're still the leader. There are about two dozen passages in the Bible where God got angry without any punitive justice coming after it, so it's not just a metaphor for God punishing somebody. The Bible isn't filler; when it says God got angry, it means it. We've been under Thomas's thumbnail for 800 years on this subject, and the metaphysics has a flaw in it; it makes God into something he's not.
