True, but not the way you think. Creator as potentiality, and creation as actuality. Potentiality is very passive by definition. This is a flip-side definition, because usually, as Aristotelians, the creator is active and the matter acted on is passive. The actual Biblical view is that G-d is Fate aka the past, not the future. The past can't be changed, as fate can't be changed. But you have to look back, not forward. Looking forward we have free will, but looking backward it is a done deal. That analogy comes about because of the "timeless/eternal" aspect. In a sense, the past is timeless. It is the present where time is active. The future of course is always speculative.
