My Dear GW, your geometry is impeccable. You get an “A+”, but our topic is chronology.
Perhaps you can give me the current date and time in Heaven? I’d like to set my watch by it.
A soul can begin at a known point in time, and extend "forever after", just as a ray can in space.
God can be forever in both directions, just as a line.
So I didn't understand why a soul lasting forever would need to imply that it had existed from all eternity.
Cheers!
The time in Heaven is "Eternity".
Nobody on this side of the pearly gates has defined a Jacobian to map between that coordinate system and ours.
Obligatory red herring: Since God is the "unmoved mover" does this imply the existance of a true inertial reference frame in Him, and therefore, that General Relativity is invalid in Heaven?
Follow up: Riddle me this, Batman. "In Him is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all." Is it applicable to the preceeding, or a coincidence?
Cheers!
