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.

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?

Then why did you ask me whether I believed time was 'part of his nature'?

Am I? How would you know? The only revelation he's given us strictly relates itself to time.

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

Only insofar as any other divine attribute (e.g., mercy, wisdom, etc.).
