Philosophy / Re: Essence Existence

That's more or less what I'm thinking my response would be, especially given that God is a being of pure act, His essence is His existence, etc.

Philosophy / Essence Existence
« on: August 30, 2020, 06:29:51 am »
Hi all. I have an interesting one for you. I recently encountered someone who argued that if God exists then He is contingent upon existence. In other words, He needs a place to occupy, even if that place is existence. Now the way I understand it, God's essence is His existence, but I'm having some trouble breaking that down further into an argument this guy would understand. Does it make sense to say God exists within Himself? Is there a better way of saying that? A different argument altogether? Thanks.

For reference, here's the video where the subject was discussed: https://youtu.be/Lwno0bST0KM

Hello everyone. I'm a Catholic YouTuber and low key philosophy and theology geek. I got here through Edward Fester's latest open comment post and I'm excited to be here. I'm looking forward to interacting with you all.
