God as Pure Act

[Anonymous No.10942695]

If God is Pure Act and has no unrealised potentials, then wouldn't it necessarily result in occasionalism; the idea that God recreates the world in its entirety each instant (and therefore causation and continuity is an illusion)?

We could imagine God having a range of potential acts he could take in this world, like an extra miracle, but seemingly does not. If God is Pure Act as the scholastics say, then wouldn't the only way to erase those potentialities be where God recreates and fully actualises the world as it is in each moment, and that therefore there is no extra potentials to be actualised because God does it all each instant of re-creation.

An alternate conception of God is the Orthodox Essence-Energies distinction which would allow God a mechanism via energies to have potency in the created universe without necessitating all potentials be actualised or occasionalism.
