Interesting. You asked for the order of things that strike me so here goes.
1. To say that time is a natural attribute of God is certainly something new to me. My understanding is and has been that God transcends time, therefore, since there is no where God is not, everywhere is not part of God. The same is true with time. This sounds very pantheistic to me.
2. The concept of time as being linear is a very modern concept. I'm not sure this will square with what we know about time in physics, which as I understand it seems to think time is curved. If it is curved, then in the sense of infinity, it must be circular, which takes us back to an understanding before the modern era. (I don't have a clue what I'm talking about!!!!!)
3. "His thoughts are really his own creation. God is part of an endless and continuous sequence of thoughts, ideas and actions. Once God thinks a thought it becomes forever embedded in the essence of time." Once again, this seems very pantheistic to me

I goofed... I said, "... therefore, since there is no where God is not, everywhere is not part of God." What I tried to say was: Though there is no where God is not, and you can find God everywhere, this does not mean that God himself is the essense of everywhere itself. He inhabits eternity and is eternal, but is not eternity itself. This writer sounds very pantheistic to me.
