When the intellects contemplate God's essence, their apprehension turns to incapacity.

—Moses Maimonides

Aristotelian and Philosopher Maimonides proposed a theory as a counterargument against rising concerns regarding theistic Apologetics. Comprising of the issue against to anthropomorphize God, which raises tendencies of having to define God, and subsequently, having to present that as a foundation for finding out whether God does exists or not.

Attributes, Maimonides argues, are either Accidental or Essential. God cannot have accidental attributes, for he is unchanging, likewise God cannot have essential attributes, for he is undefinable. After constant thought, where I am certain not to pioneer of, this theory consist of logical inconsistencies and defectives. When we are using linguistic adjectives to say God is undefinable, paradoxically, that is defining him.

Maimonides, adds more into this by beginning from the sentence; God is a creator. We are describing what God does, rather than what he is. Like energy, it is about what it does, rather than what it essentially is. Remarkably, another issue that arise from there is that; God does have accidental attributes, which supposedly, having to create Adam. Furthermore, he also has essential attributes; like having to be omniscient or omnipotent.

Maimonides strongly counter argues that it is of tendencies rather than certainty. These descriptions of God are only negotiations for us to develop an approximation of what God really us, provided that the bible leaves God as a vague, undefinable existence beyond our contingent understanding.

This is not to justify or disprove God's existence, but rather to evaluate Maimonides theory of Necessary attribution — does God have essential or accidental attributes?
