We struggle to express ourselves clearly here, for how does one describe the “being” of God? Terms have been used down through the centuries, such as essence, or in Greek, ousia, or in Latin, essentia. It’s the “stuff of God.” I like to say it is that “which makes God, God.” Because He is unique, His being is unique as well. Whatever the “being” of God is, creatures don’t have the same thing. Our biggest problem is that we think very physically.
