[QUOTE="Mark Quayle, post: 77140234, member: 410020"] Yes, very much so, and I am thoroughly pleased to hear someone besides myself say it for once, though I have to say, it can be misleading to say that God is "part of existence". The fact that he exists is obvious; but to then assume he is exists by the principle of existence in the same way we do, is false. Existence is what it is, because it proceeds FROM him. He is not defined by it. He is not like us! The same thing can be seen in a quote I wish I could find to quote it accurately, and so much more aptly than my version of it. Some old writer, theologian, said something to effect that it is not because it is 'good', that God does what is good —rather, 'good' is what it is, because God is good. [/QUOTE]
