The hyolic substance
Hello Rabbi,
I understood from the author of the cosmological argument that the Rabbi accepts the Greek concept of “Juli matter” (I understand that the interpretation of this concept is that it refers to the fundamental, non-material source of the physical), as I understand it has always existed and was not created.
My first question:
Isn’t that the definition of “God”?
When I say ‘God’ I mean “the thing from which matter comes”, is that actually a mistake?
And a second question: Was my spirit created or is it eternal, like the material world?
I would love to get some order in these concepts.
thanks.
The matter of the universe is a body without intelligence and will. It is simply matter without properties. I don’t know what it means that I “accept” this. I understand the definition but I don’t know if it ever really existed or if it is an abstraction.
God is a being with intelligence and will. Therefore, the two cannot be identified.
