THE ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (1 of 8 notes)

Part Three
Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Ontos is the present participle of the Greek verb to be. Ontology is the science of real being. Whereas the other arguments previously considered were a posteriori in character, arguing from particulars back to principle, from effect to cause, the Ontological is a priori, arguing from principle to particulars, from cause to effect. The argument is designed to prove that the real objective existence of God is necessarily involved in the existence of the very idea of God.
