Abstract
Theological propositions are the evident extension of eternal necessary propositions in which predicate attributes to the essence of necessary existent, and because in propositions which are results of demonstrational deduction, predicate logically is the inherent accident of subject, so demonstrability of eternal necessary propositions depend on that predicate in this kind of propositions is inherent accident of the subject. On the other hand, because God in Muslim philosophers' view is existence in its pure simplicity (existence in the absolute sense), so does not have essence and can not imagine for him genus and differentia and inherent accident. So, eternal necessary propositions which their subjects is God, does not have logical necessary condition for being demonstrational provability (in Aristotelian terminology), so they are not demonstrable in his logical system.
