AnswerClick to flip back
A
God is a simple being without any attributes.
💡 Explanation:
The problem of divine simplicity arises from the idea that God is a simple being, meaning that he has no parts or attributes. This raises questions about how God can be both simple and yet possess the various attributes that are traditionally ascribed to him, such as omnipotence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence.
