Your thesis, on the other hand, seems to suggest that God's TIME — which is TIMELESSNESS — can be completely, exhaustively reduced to the categories of human understanding. I do not believe this is possible. There is an insurmountable categorical difference, a difference of incalculable orders of magnitude, between our Eternal God and His finite creature, Man.

It is not my understanding nor my intent to state or imply that we in flesh can completely 'grasp' the fullness of the Creator.

However, John 1:1 In the beginning (Genesis 1:1) was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the Word was God.

So His WORD is how we can 'know' Him, not in a perfect understanding, but like laying a foundation upon which to build as the understanding grows.

So when I read IIPeter 3 the whole chapter it covers a vast time line. And if I am to consider John 1:1 as a truth, then Peter appears to be conveying far more than just to a Roman audience.

Peter covers in this chapter from the beginning to the end and includes how God keeps time. Up to Genesis 6 flesh lived nearly one day with the LORD. Referencing Methuselah as recorded living 969 years.

I personally do not believe in the flesh, unless the Creator has cause any person can fully understand what has been Written. So I surely do expect a wealth of understanding when I return to the Maker that sent me.

And if I am to consider John 1:1 as a truth, then Peter appears to be conveying far more than just to a Roman audience.

St. John — the Beloved Apostle of Christ — was speaking to the ages....

And then he "wraps up" everything in Revelation....

I don't see Jesus conducting any tests of knowledge in those pages.... This "time" business seems to be a huge stumbling block for many....

Thank you so much for writing, dear Just mythoughts.
