Explain the Difference between God as "a being" and God as "being itself" |
God's essence = God's Existence He is saying that when god is a being, god is here with us in physical form and he is a part of the world. By God is being, he means that god is everything.

Summarize in a paragraph Barron's explanation of Aquinas' argument for the existence of God from "contingency"

A contingent being is only possible if it owes its existence to a necessary being (that being God). We are not self-explanatory, thus we must look to what is higher in order to find the ultimate ground of existence. our grounded support must exist in a higher stable being that will never pass away. We are finite, but something must be infinite. |
