GOD is ETERNAL LIFE, Part 1
*******
Plotinus — Definition of Eternity would be that it is a life limitless in the full sense of being all the life there is … To the notion of a Life (a Living-Principle) … Life is instantaneously infinite.

St. Augustine — Confessions “Thou Thyself art supremely Essence and Life … and “So also did I endeavour to conceive of Thee, Life of my life, as vast, through infinite spaces, on every side penetrating the whole mass of the universe, and beyond it, every way, through unmeasurable boundless spaces….”

Thomas Aquinas — Summa Theologica — the following conclusions drawn: “In Him principally is life.” … “As God is His own very being and understanding, so is He His own life.” … “Whatever is in God as understood is the very living or life of God. … It follows that all things in Him are the divine life itself,” and “Hence the ideas of things, though not living in themselves, are life in the divine mind, as having a divine being in that mind.”
Dozens of writers refer to God as Being, First Being, Eternal Being, Supreme Being, Absolute Universal Being, or I AM. Being relates to actual reality or life. The implication is that the Eternal Being is Life.
It was not until about 1827 that human females were found to have eggs.
…Let’s look at an example, using Henry VIII of England. Henry wanted a male heir but was unaware that his semen controlled the sex of his potential children. If a wife produced only a daughter (except for a son who died at childbirth), what was Henry’s solution? Get another woman with better water containment.
