God is the sole being whose existence is the same as His essence: "what subsists in God is His existence."[45] (Hence why God names himself "I Am that I Am" in Exodus 3:14.[46]) Consequently, God cannot be a body (that is, He cannot be composed of matter),[47] He cannot have any accidents,[48] and He must be simple (that is, not separated into parts; the Trinity is one substance in three persons).[49] Further, He is goodness itself,[36] perfect,[50] infinite,[51] omnipotent,[52] omniscient,[53] happiness itself,[54] knowledge itself,[55] love itself,[39] omnipresent,[56] immutable,[57] and eternal.[58] Summing up these properties, Aquinas offers the term actus purus (Latin: "pure actuality"). ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2932.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2932.txt
