How did the first mover start the motion?

Conditionals proposition (In Logic).


St. Thomas gave the example,
If man is an ass or fool, he is irrational. Man cannot be an ass or fool (stop
snickering, he means the animal), nor can he be irrational (possessing an
irrational soul), but if he were an ass he would necessarily also be irrational.
Argument of Change. Each one needs something outside itself to actualize its
potentiality for change. Some real being transcendent to the universe.
But caused by what? Beyond everything that is, there can only be nothing.
But that is absurd: all of reality dependentbut dependent on nothing! The
hypothesis that all being is caused, that there is no Uncaused Being, is
absurd. So there must be something uncaused, something on which all
things that need an efficient cause of being are dependent.
God has his own eternal nature.
Do the five names refer to one and the same being or to different beings?
We do believe only in one God who is perfect being.
First, if we do believe in God who is Unmoved Mover or the other God who is
necessary being in the series of change or in another God who is the First
mover. Then, each individual God has its own capacity to be a cause of
something. The first God is caused of the moving being even it is excluded in
the movement. The second God is necessary God because without it nothing
would turn to change or motion. The last God is the first Mover who starts
the motion. However, by comparing one being to another being we would
find perfectly perfect being. Which is which is purely perfect the God that has
all of those abilities that three God has it or the three Gods has only ability to
prove their existence?
-Pure actuality.
-If the Unmoved Mover is part of the series of change then it will become the
subject of change.
-Because if there is a series. So it also there is a change.
-Therefore, the unmoved mover is the Source of all change or motion. Then,
it is part of nature of the unmoved mover to move the other being. The
Unmoved mover is necessary for the series of change, because without it
there could be no more change.
We believe in one God who is perfectly perfect and one else.
