For humans, but for God I doubt it. It was none other than Blessed Augustine who translated from Greek his famous line "Qui vivit in aeternum creavit omnia simul" (He Who lives in eternity, created everything at once). It turns out his knowledge of koine Greek was not too good, so the correct word is not "at once" but "together," but nonetheless the meaning is the same — God not only made, but integrated everything from the beginning.

That's why I have been telling you all along (with no avail apparently) that God's plan has been accomplished, and all our decisions and lives, past, present and future, incorporated (i.e. integrated) into it.

Excellent post. All of Time is part of God's "now" compressed into one view. I don't know how many times I typed something to that effect on this thread, over a 20 at least...

Christ is risen!!! Oh death, where is thy sting???!!!!

Yes, I know jo, that's why everyone is bailing out. Sadly, after 4,600+ posts the divide remains unrbridged. The only god thing from all this is that I will never, ever, have any misconceptions abut Christianity.

I have not only learned a great deal why Protestants are not part of the Church, and never will be, but why, despite their millennial division, the Roman Catholic Orthodox Churches remain One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Blessed Resurrection to both of you. Kosta
