Maybe I'm missing something that should be obvious. | There is creation and there is providence. Creation brought forth matter out of nothing and providence sustains what was created. It is the same matter in either case. There is the creation of revelation, which was established by miracles in order to certify it was God's revelation; but once the revelation has been so certified then it only needs to be preserved in an ordinary manner. It is the same revelation in either case. | That's a very interesting thought and very well put. I'd like to ask what allows you to draw the correlation between "creation"-"revelation" and how their beginnings and sustaining would be similar.
