Quoted By:
From a philosophical point of view, God is of two kinds. The former is the most necessary, the most difficult and most unanswerable of all other gods, who have in their own power been created by God Himself and have been made perfect in their particular way. Hence, if there were to be a God who could do what God had done in creation, he might be made perfect in His own way. For the only God who could be as such by His own action is the most necessary, the most difficult and the most unanswerable. Thus, the best possible God, then, is the least possible. The only good God is God who is not created by Him. The only God who can and who can be as such by his own action is God who could rather do by Himself the kind of action necessary to divine perfection, that is, as to self-provision. That kind of action, the action necessary to the existence of the two gods is not that necessary, but that just due to His own action, God could rather be as this God.
