Ah, yes. With the clarification that the omni is optional, that makes more sense. I don't disagree that emotions require a temporal environment, just that omnibenevolence doesn't (there are more fitting emotions than love that I would attribute to Yahweh...depends on who you ask, I guess).

Oh? Why wouldn't omnibenevolence require a temporal environment? I don't see any reason for thinking it escapes the claws of time.
