In one of the extremely rare instances where I don’t exactly agree with you, I do not see God as temporally constrained, i.e. God does not exist solely “in” time.

But A-G, I imagine that God is completely outside of time. Yet He can nonetheless work in time -- through human souls. Especially through a beautiful soul like yours: You were made for Him. JMHO, FWIW.

Thank you so much for the kudos and encouragements! You would not have liked the natural me - the before Christ me. I was self-serving, mean spirited, unloving, rude and rebellious without cause. LOL!

Thank you so much for the clarification that you see God as outside time! That is my experience of the Father; Jesus and the Holy Spirit I view as both.

When we are dealing with problems relating to God, it seems to me we have to draw distinctions between what man sees, and what God sees. And as to the latter, no human being can say what that is. When I mentioned God in the context of temporality, I was only referring to the human habit of seeing things in time.

But God is not at all bound by time. Time is but an image of God's eternity, part of His creation.
