Abstract

The fugacity is characteristic of every being, because it receives or being and has no case for its existence. Eternity is the unique attribute of Being, of God, which is necessary in itself. In this sense, this article aims to reflect on the ephemerality of corruptible and incorruptible beings, as well as on the eternity of God in the third way of Thomas. In this way, in the first place, the aforementioned proof of the existence of God will be presented. In a second moment, a note will be made about the ephemerality of corruptible entities, which suffer the effects of the dynamics of generation and corruption. Afterwards, it will be seen that incorruptible beings also have an ephemeral existence, as they can be annihilated by God. Finally, it will be elucidated that God is the Being necessary in itself and therefore eternal. In view of the fact that God grants and maintains the existence of all beings.
