A being with both a timeless phase and a temporal phase violates divine simplicity by introducing real composition into God's nature, generating incoherence on classical theism's own terms.

Real composition(as a metaphysical concept): When something is made up of distinct, physically separate parts or elements that genuinely exist as independent pieces (like how a car is composed of an engine, wheels, and body).
classical theism(Contrasted with process theism in the debate over human freedom): The theological view, represented by Aquinas, that God's will is perfectly efficacious and that divine sovereignty is compatible with human freedom through dual sufficient causation
divine simplicity(Central to both Malebranche's theodicy and his epistemology): A divine attribute functioning as a side constraint on God's actions, requiring God to act through simple means.
incoherence(Illustrated by the coexistence of pro-slavery compromises and democratic/equality principles in the US Constitution.): The condition in which a legal or constitutional document contains provisions that are mutually inconsistent or in tension, resulting from the competing interests of those who drafted it.
