Oh I know, I don't use it for in depth analysis
But for just reading
For in-depth I personally opt for kjv just because I grew up with it
I'll sometimes use KJVA, I grew up with KJV too
My Bible study leader, he uses CEB for reading and your DR edition for studying
Why did kjv become so popular
It seems like it's the most commonly used
Or at least most widely known
it should be dhouay rheims
I haven't looked too far into it, but it probably has to do with the King wanting to get rid of the books the Catholic church recognized and such.
Catholic Church is true church
so
Yes
@Eoppa u here?
Now I am
@Eoppa since you are familiar with "purus actus" or the "argument from motion" can you explain to me how does it prove a god?
it proves there must be something
and it doesn't have to be god
the argument just labels it as god
why couldn't it have been something that was actual in the previous instance of time? because the argument implicitly assumes that things are not in causal relations through time only in a specific instance of time
It doesn't assume things are not causal over time
Only that there are essential and accidental causation, they are two sides of the same coin
how does it prove omnipotent, omniscient, perfect and that it must be a being?
also isn't omnipotent a self contradicting attribute?
A "Being" is just something that exists. Pure act is the purely actual actualizer, there is nothing that it cannot make actual because it actualizes the very being of everything.
Omnipotent if not defined is contradictory
Omnipotent we define as the ability to actualize any potential
well real omnipotence is contradictory
all powerful is not possible
all powerful is not possible
so it would always be quasi-omnipotence
"Real omnipotence" is just a strawman
Power is just the ability to do something
If you can do anything (make any potency actual) you are omnipotent
But could it acutalize itself?
It is purely actual
omnipotence literally means all powerful i.e. the ability to do anything
It is devoid of potential
You haven't formalized that
> Omnipotent we define as the ability to actualize any potential
@Eoppa btw this doesn't solve the problem of the stone that is so heavy that the almighty cannot lift it
