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?

It is my claim that God "thinks" in sequence, and thus, in time; since he "thinks" in time, and all things derive from him, it is a divine attribute.

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"?

Nope, but time isn't just a measurement of a physical phenomenon. It's also a metaphysical concept quite divorced from quantum mechanics.

I am aware that you think so. I just don't think it is fitting for an allmighty to be limited in this way. You are confusing how He reveals Himself to us, in time, with how He truly is.

Nope, but time isn't just a measurement of a physical phenomenon. It's also a metaphysical concept quite divorced from quantum mechanics.

Do you believe, then, that Time is an uncreated thing?
