Does God have a relation?

Are such relation accidents?

What is a relation?
- In the book relation is an accident whose nature is a reference or order of one substance
towards another.
- Not like the other intrinsic accidents like the quality and quantity which affect the
substance to what it is in itself.
- Relation on the other hand is simply in regards to another.
- To be- towards- another.
- One example of relation is sonship. The relation of a son to his parent.

Two elements in an accident.

1. Its nature or essence
2. Its inherence or being in.
In contrast to other accident
Relation makes the substance get out of itself in order to relate itself to another.

As example. Son is the subject, the parents is the term or the terminus, the basis is generation
The relation “of reason” – it is the relation in which stays in the intellect and independent things
among themselves.
