Maybe you read limits on God in your Bible, but I do not in mine. As I said earlier, the question (still unanswered) is simple: is God the Creator and Master of time, or is He subject to it?

So tell me then, can God lie? According to your logic, that the Bible says 'no' is 'reading a limit on God.'

As far as your question: you never asked me. You asked winston. My answer, personally, is "God is subject to time only in that he is subject to his own nature."

No, God cannot lie not because of "reading a limit on God", except a self imposed limit of God not acting contrary to His nature, not because of anyone's "logic" as you suppose. God being Truth, by definition cannot lie, or else God is not Truth. The Law of noncontradiction stands.

Please. God does not lie as it is against His nature to lie. Is it your claim that being subject to time is somehow a part of God's nature?

Oh, I see you are. Are depth and breadth, and temperature, and voltage and other measurements of physical phenomena also part of God's "own nature"?
