Does the Holy Spirit move and work within time? God intercedes within time but He is unaffected by it. He cannot be defined in terms of time or space. Your question is, no offense intended, pure sophistry.

Jesus limited Himself to live under the strictures of time and space (except for a rare personal case or two such as walking away from a mob of ‘priests’ wishing to seize him, or walking on water or speaking to someone already in the great beyond like Lazarus or the little girl or Moses and Elijah). But after the resurrection, well, that’s a whole different story!

DR> E: Does the Holy Spirit move and work within time? KOSTA: God intercedes within time
Thanks. I'll take that as a "yes" to my question since as you've just stated that God not only works outside of time, but inside time, too.
...but He is unaffected by it. He cannot be defined in terms of time or space.
I agree generally, but we can and do say "God is limitless" which does have a "sense" of space within the concept.
Alamo-Girl's original statement which you challenged was "There was a beginning of time and a beginning of space."
She is correct. God is not constrained by time, but God did create time and there was a beginning of time, before which, God was.
And as you've agreed, God, the Holy Spirit, works in time.
Is that progress, or what?
