| In latin existence (existere) simple means a being (ens) is capable of receiving an essence. Since God, especially in early latin thought, is pure being (esse purissimum) it also has existence (existere) the ability to realize essence.
"...all life is an experiment. Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge." -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr |
