Unmoved Mover: Pure Actuality

There is no [substantial] potentiality in God (SCG, I, 16) – Modified
  • Anything that is potentially another thing must proceed from not being that thing to being that thing
  • God did not come to be nor can he ever cease to be; He is eternal.
  • Therefore there must be no potentiality in God.
There is no accidental potentiality in God
  • Anything with accidents is divisible
  • God is not divisible
    • If He were, then God would depend upon the motion of his dividends
  • Therefore, God has no accidents and cannot be in potency to them.
Pure Actuality
