The Perfections Of God

“The diversity and inequality in created things are not the result of chance, nor of a diversity of matter, nor of the intervention of certain causes or merits, but of the intention of God Himself, who wills to give the creature such perfection as it is possible for it to have”

- Thomas Aquinas, Summa Contra Gentiles, Book Two

Diversity and inequality are intended and purposed of and by God. It is His will and are brought to their highest level of being, which is perfection.

In other words, God doesn’t make mistakes, nor does He make junk. Everything God creates is created to its utmost highest. Any deviation from this point would not be to perfect it more, for it is impossible to make perfect more perfect. Any alterations at the point of perfection would be to create something anew. 

Racism by definition is the belief that one race and its inherent differences are superior to another race. But here we discover that differences, are in fact, the perfections of God.

We are all created equal......equally perfect!
