Oh I know, I don't use it for in depth analysis

2020-03-30 20:43:25 UTC  

But for just reading

2020-03-30 20:43:49 UTC  

For in-depth I personally opt for kjv just because I grew up with it

2020-03-30 20:44:15 UTC  

I'll sometimes use KJVA, I grew up with KJV too

2020-03-30 20:44:32 UTC  

My Bible study leader, he uses CEB for reading and your DR edition for studying

2020-03-30 20:45:43 UTC  

Why did kjv become so popular

2020-03-30 20:45:50 UTC  

It seems like it's the most commonly used

2020-03-30 20:45:59 UTC  

Or at least most widely known

2020-03-30 20:46:02 UTC  

it should be dhouay rheims

2020-03-30 20:50:02 UTC  

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.

2020-03-30 20:50:41 UTC  

Catholic Church is true church

2020-03-30 20:50:42 UTC  

so

2020-03-30 21:00:30 UTC  

Yes

2020-03-30 21:19:39 UTC  

@Eoppa u here?

2020-03-30 22:07:44 UTC  

Now I am

2020-03-30 22:17:27 UTC  

@Eoppa since you are familiar with "purus actus" or the "argument from motion" can you explain to me how does it prove a god?

2020-03-30 22:17:38 UTC  

it proves there must be something

2020-03-30 22:17:46 UTC  

and it doesn't have to be god

2020-03-30 22:18:08 UTC  

the argument just labels it as god

2020-03-30 22:18:43 UTC  

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

2020-03-30 22:19:06 UTC  

It proves there must be an omnipotent/omniscient, perfect, non composed, one immutable being.

2020-03-30 22:19:20 UTC  

It doesn't assume things are not causal over time

2020-03-30 22:19:45 UTC  

Only that there are essential and accidental causation, they are two sides of the same coin

2020-03-30 22:21:21 UTC  

how does it prove omnipotent, omniscient, perfect and that it must be a being?

2020-03-30 22:22:47 UTC  

also isn't omnipotent a self contradicting attribute?

2020-03-30 22:23:53 UTC  

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.

2020-03-30 22:24:06 UTC  

Omnipotent if not defined is contradictory

2020-03-30 22:24:53 UTC  

Omnipotent we define as the ability to actualize any potential

2020-03-30 22:24:59 UTC  

well real omnipotence is contradictory

2020-03-30 22:25:19 UTC  

all powerful is not possible

2020-03-30 22:25:46 UTC  

all powerful is not possible

2020-03-30 22:25:48 UTC  

so it would always be quasi-omnipotence

2020-03-30 22:25:53 UTC  

"Real omnipotence" is just a strawman

2020-03-30 22:26:06 UTC  

Power is just the ability to do something

2020-03-30 22:26:27 UTC  

If you can do anything (make any potency actual) you are omnipotent

2020-03-30 22:26:31 UTC  

But could it acutalize itself?

2020-03-30 22:26:45 UTC  

It is purely actual

2020-03-30 22:26:48 UTC  

omnipotence literally means all powerful i.e. the ability to do anything

2020-03-30 22:26:57 UTC  

It is devoid of potential

2020-03-30 22:27:09 UTC  

You haven't formalized that

2020-03-30 22:27:52 UTC  

> 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
