Nominative God

Commenting on the ungrammatical nominative in the phrase “from he who is and was and comes,” Caird says, “God is, so to speak, always in the nominative, always the subject; he always holds the initiative, and things happen because he chooses, not because men force his hand and so put him into the accusative.”

Nominative God = Impassibility.
