  Appearances may be deceiving, however. For even though the Father’s (or the Son’s or the Holy Spirit’s) willing that s entails that s, the Father’s volition isn’t, by itself, sufficient for s’s occurrence. For s won’t occur unless the Son and Holy Spirit also will it. It is therefore not causally sufficient for the occurrence of s in the strong sense of sufficient condition employed in the argument from sovereignty, namely, that x is a causally sufficient condition of y in the strong sense if and only if, given x alone, y exists or occurs. In that sense, there is only one causally sufficient condition of the existence of contingent beings, and that is the joint operation of the necessarily concurrent wills of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So there is, as Cudworth says, only “one creator.” It thus isn’t clear that either the premises or conclusion of the argument from divine sovereignty precludes the existence of the Platonic Trinity.
