I'm afraid I cannot agree with the following: "The ever-transcendent God has neither: He is wholly "outside" spacetime however understood." God is in Christ, reconciling we flawed beings to Himself, thus He is intimately in contact with spacetime in the person of Jesus Christ. That is how He can reconcile us to Himself, through The Christ, The Son of the Everliving God.

God diminishes none of His transcendence by functioning as The Holy Spirit holding the unbelievably delicate balance of the Universe together, and in being the earnest of our inheritance present in our human spirit through Christ's work. And God compromises none of His transcendence by indwelling Jesus through Jesus's human spirit made Divine forever more. As Creator, perhaps God is 'outside' the Creation, but as The Holy Spiirt and as Christ, He is with us, as the name Emmanuel was given to mean.

BB, my Dear Sister in Christ, I fear I must side with MHGinTN on this one.

God is not only omniscient and omnipotent, but omnipresent at all loci in His creation.

Per our discussion of the "Universal NOW", I believe that He can not only "see" the spin status of every subatomic particle in His creation at any instant, if required for the accomplishment of His Will, His omnipotence enables Him to modify that state to effect His desired conclusion.

Humans call such changes "evolution" or "development" or "progress" -- or, if the result appears to contravene one of His "laws", (E=MC², R=ρL/A, PV=nrT, etc....) we call it "miraculous". '-)

He is, indeed, "here". I am ever-conscious of His presence...

After all, His Name is, "I AM"...
