Of course, you are right. But we were talking about Creation, and that was work done outside of time or mankind, hence I thought it strange that you would mention His "other work" in that context.
My point was that God didn't leave anything undone (His work is perfect, complete). Of all the Christians, you as a Reformed Baptist should believe that no matter how much God intercedes in your life on a daily basis from your perspective, all that is just playing out what has been determined to happen, your percpetion notwithstanding. Your future is a done deal, FK.
How is creation outside of time? No matter what a "day" is, we are given specific time delineations as to what occurred when. (As was discussed on the Luther thread, my view is that the literal timeline is handed down in Gen. 1, from God's POV.) I don't see how God could have highlighted days passing unless He wanted it known that time had commenced at this point.
My point was that God didn't leave anything undone (His work is perfect, complete).
Yes, after 6 "days", His creation work was perfect and complete, i.e. it wasn't so after the third day. As that work was within time, so was His later work with the Incarnation and everything else.

Yes, true enough (my perception notwithstanding), and it does play out within time. I agree with you that God transcends time and is not subject to it. Nevertheless, as one of God's creations, time does exist. I presume that this fact makes it "real". I'm just saying that God has chosen to operate within this creation, as opposed to creating "things" and then leaving them alone by not operating within time.
