To clarify, he refers to being-itself as the "power to resist non-being". Every thing participates in it, but does not have it as a property. God is the condition of the things existence, not vice versa.<br /><br />Another hint: Tillich does dismiss the proofs for the existence for god only as proofs of a being besides other beings, he accepts them as formulas to discover the point of the "unconditional" in every dimension (in the structure of Reason (ontological proof), in the idea of causality, in Ethics (the one dimension where Kant got it)). They are one order above a proof, which always proves a limited-->conditioned object --> not the unconditional (god is not an object, he may only reveal himself as such, but thats another topic altogether; right now, we only talk about the first person of the trinity).<br /><br />Sidenote: historically, behind this discussion is the very old tradition of the transcendentalia, their unity and identity with god. Thats basically the center of all scholastic theology from Augustine to Thomas.
