Found in both:
WCF — Chapter II: Of God and of the Holy Trinity
LBCF — Chapter II: Of God and of the Holy Trinity
is the phrase:
"a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions"
I am not sure I understand the "passions." The context is prior to mentioning distinction of persons within the Godhead. That said, surely we want to admit that God has anger, for He is furious with our sin; He has loving kindness, for He bears with great patience and mercy those who commit sins.
Is this a statement against patripassionism, or something in that vein? That is, that we do not affirm that God suffers (particularly the Father did not suffer on the Cross)?
