Through Divine Concurrence and Conservation God Does Govern Mankind

Gary Edward Geraci

Here among us yet

Everywhere above us; fate,

You do so create.

  • Comment from author about the poem: 17T/17B 5-7-5 Haiku “...the doctrine of divine conservation, according to which the world could not exist even for an instant if God were not continually sustaining it in being; and the doctrine of divine concurrence, according to which no created thing could have any causal efficacy if God were not imparting causal power to it at any moment at which it acts.” Excerpt from “Five Proofs of the Existence of God” by Edward Feser

    A fine write and pic Gary.I was reading a bit of 'common grace' - given to all, just to be able to live/exist.
    Also how in the Bible, in the Old Testament especially, God is often seen as the 'first cause' of everything. Some puzzling verses too, such as 'I the Lord, create good AND evil'. (similar to Isaiah 45 v.7, just Googled it!).

      Yes, evil - the Devil - not God’s rival by any means ... but rather a mere brush stroke in His final masterpiece!
