impassibility
Immunity to suffering
Impassibility is the quality of being incapable of suffering or feeling pain.
In theology, it describes God's nature as beyond emotional disturbance or harm—unmoved by external forces.
The term appears in philosophical and religious contexts: The doctrine of divine impassibility has been debated for centuries.
Not to be confused with impassivity, which suggests emotional coldness rather than metaphysical incapacity.
