When I say that for God all times are now, I am trying to get away from the idea of GOD experiencing something like "waiting" or foreseeing. I want to say something like He currently sees the pond before the pebble, during the pebble, and after the pebble. For Him all things do happen at once. He can cope.

Yes, and I agree with that. I suppose it's like the Lapsarian debate. On one level, it is pointless, but on another it can be intellectually stimulating and edifying spiritually. As long as one's head does not explode, you know, in the bad way.

However . . . .

There are Scriptures about God’s

LONGSUFFERING NATURE. And, some other Scriptures speak of God waiting . . .

I don’t think we can well wrap our minds around God . . . much less God AND HIS TIMELESSNESS . . . in the midst of this, our FINITENESS.

But clearly we are the ones who are to wait . . . on The Lord.

Where do you speak of the lamb, Mad Dawg?

I gather there were complications? Am sure you were merciful and skillful.

God be with you, Bro.

[At first I typoed . . . Fog be with you. But I wish that only for the strident atheists . . . sort of]
