Wikipedia defines divine simplicity this way: > In theology, the doctrine of divine simplicity says that God is > without **parts**. *Euthyphro, God's Nature, and the Question of Divine Attributes*, which discuss Divine Simplicity and the philosophies used to describe how God is "simple," provides a better definition in part 1 : > When we speak of God’s simplicity then, in the most elementary sense, > we are speaking of his not having parts, of his non-compositeness. “We > use the term,” Berkhof explains, “to describe the state or quality of > being simple, the condition of being free from division into parts, > and therefore from compositeness” Here's part 2 and part 3 . Personally, I think divine simplicity is coherent. But I couldn't find any scriptural support for this doctrine. What is the Biblical basis?
