God as Both Contingent and Not Contingent

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

The ideas of the designer, as part of the designer, are part of the creation as these ideas give it form. God, as existing through the chain, may exist independently of the chain but because of his omnipresence he exists as part of the chain and as existing as part of the chain exists through its contingencies.

For example in scripture there where times where Jesus could not perform miracles because of the absence of faith. Dually he was able to create miracles because the people had faith. God exists as not contingent upon creation in one respect as he can exist without creation however in a dual respect because of his omnipresence allows for a contingency through creation. Omnipresence must encapsulate both contingency and absence of contingency.
