Qnoma?...definition
#53
Shlama Akhi George,

george Wrote:Are all of the attributes and characteristics of the Divine Nature, such as omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, present and encapsulated within each Qnoma?

Yes, that is correct Akhi. See below:

Mar Bawai the Great, 6th c. Wrote:???A singular essence is called a ???qnoma???. It stands alone, one in number, that is, one as distinct from the many.

A qnoma is invariable in its natural state and is bound to a species and nature, being one (numerically) among a number of like qnome. It is distinctive among its fellow qnome only by reason of any unique property or characteristic which it possesses in its parsopa.

With rational creatures this uniqueness may consist of various external and internal accidents, such as excellent or evil character, or knowledge or ignorance, and with irrational creatures as also with the rational the combination of various contrasting features.

Through the parsopa we distinguish that Gabriel is not Michael, and Paul is not Peter. However, in each qnoma of any given nature the entire common nature is known, and intellectually one recognizes what that nature, which encompasses all its qnome, consists of. A qnoma does not encompass the nature as a whole, but exemplifies what is common to the nature, such as, in a human qnoma, body, soul, mind, etc..???

Here Mar Bawai sets forth qnoma as being a representative exemplar of a general nature. It is the essence of a given nature in concrete, realized form. It is the essential substratum upon which a parsopa is based. It is nature undifferentiated in any way from exemplary qnome of the same nature except for number, but differentiated both in number and essence from exemplary qnome of other natures.

This substratum of nature is further individualized only by the addition of accidents, phenomena which are not of the essence of a given nature, but which make it possible to distinguish one qnoma from another.

Nature is general and descriptive: qnoma is specific and exemplary. When Bawai speaks of Meshikha as ???God and man???, he insists on specificity: a divine qnoma (not the Holy Trinity) and a human qnoma (not mankind in general).
