Do I get this right: "the state of existence from non-existence": is this your definition or requirement for the status of (a) God?
Medini:
No, the opposite - this state is a finite one because of its fundamental existential dependency, and is not and cannot be G-d unless you are willing to have a finite for "G-d".


I did not get it; so "existence from non-existence" is a finite state. Thanks for explaining.

Medini:
If G-d exists from non-existence, then He is finite, as I explain above, and you have a finite for "G-d".


" you have a finite for "G-d" ". I did not know that;:) but if so, I would throw him away as an idol. I don't see the finiteness of 'my' God. I happen to believe in God, creator of heaven and earth, God of Abraham, Izac and Jacob.

Medini:
Further, the distinguishability of Father, Word and Spirit that means they are finite for without any kind of boundary (finis) there can be no distinguishability. Hence, again, if any of these are G-d, then you have a finite for "G-d".


Again: One Being=Essence='Principle'; not three separated Beings. Father, Word and Spirit are not separated according to the doctrine; they can be distinguished, yes, but within the One (so to speak).
