In certain formulations of Jabrite determinism, the servant's acquisition or meaningful choice is denied so thoroughly that the person is little more than the locus in which an act occurs. Such a picture makes moral responsibility difficult to explain.
The doctrine of divine creation is not automatically identical to that determinism. It addresses who gives existence to the act; the servant's voluntary relation is established through another distinction.
Consequently, “God created it” does not establish that “the servant willed nothing.” Conversely, “the servant chose it” does not establish that the servant independently brought the act into being.
