Deep dives
Distinction Between God's Decision and Act of Creation
The concept of God's creation involves a distinction between His eternal decision to create and the actual act of creation itself. God's decision is seen as timeless and eternal, reflecting His omniscience and nature, which prevents any notion of indecision. In contrast, the act of creation is not timeless; it occurs at a specific moment, marking the beginning of time. This separation ensures that while God's decision is eternal, the event of creation is a distinct starting point in time.
