Bringing an act into existence, approving of it, and a human agent's choosing it involve different relations. Creation concerns existence, approval moral favor, and acquisition or choice the creature's involvement.
Oppression occurs, but its occurrence does not make it good or permissible. The human agent's responsibility remains conceptually distinct from comprehensive divine power.
Without this distinction, one may wrongly infer from “God created its existence” to “God approves of the act.”
