Question

What is the difference in saying that something is pious because the gods love it and saying that the gods love something because it is pious?

Answer 1

1st : God's love is Antecedent , Piousness is Consequent

2nd : Piousness is Antecedent , God's love is Consequent

Step-by-step explanation:

The occurence causing something is Antecedent & the thing resultantly happening is Consequent.

If event 'A' happens because of 'B' ; A is consequent and B is Antecedent.

"Something is pious because God love it": Piousness is consequent to antecedent God's Love

"God love something because it is pious" : God's love is consequent to antecedent piousness.
