Christ lives in karios time
Close but no.
Actually right on the money.
Since Christ is not currently alive on earth AND
Since Christ currently exists in eternity
THEN Christ’s time is outside of earthly time (chronos) which is called kairos or God’s time.
Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam
Born again believers, those who belong to God, are already seated with Christ in the heavenly places. Positionally, we are already there.
[Me] Christ lives in karios timeJesus (if that is who you mean by Christ), God the Father and the Holy Spirit are not confined to one time "zone" as you state.Close but no.
[You] Actually right on the money.
Since Christ is not currently alive on earth...
For Christians, within whom God dwells (ask for scripture and I will provide it for you,) Christ Jesus is alive, very much alive, here on earth. Inside every born again saved believer in Jesus. [Scripture reference available upon request]
Since Christ currently exists in eternity
God is omnipresent so that is one place He exists. Remember Jesus Christ=God=Holy Spirit.
THEN Christs time is outside of earthly time
Again, God is omnipresent.
kairos or Gods time
That leaves a lot our. Do a study on the word kairos.

Is God Omnipresent?Correctly understood, the question of Gods omnipotence has historically caused little controversy. The term omnipresent, however, has caused more trouble. Basically, being omnipresent means being present everywhere at the same time. Can this term be applied to God? What does Scripture tell us?
Ask yourself: is there any physical location in this universe where we can hide from the presence of God? The answer, according to Scripture, is a resounding No! In fact, King David posed this question directly, asking: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell [the grave], behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me (Psalm 139:710).
David answers the question beautifully: it is futile to search for a place to hide from the presence of God (and it is unwise to tryjust ask Jonah!). In this sense, Gods infallible word shows that He is omnipresentwithin His vast creation, there is no place where you can hide from His presence.
Still, we must be careful with our terms! Many have tried to twist Gods omnipresence to portray Him as some kind of shapeless blobeven though the Bible clearly shows that God has a body and a shapeand it is a shape like ours! Consider Genesis 1:26, which tells us that man is made in Gods image and likenesswords that do convey a sense of shape. We do not use human philosophies to avoid the clear statements of Scripture! Consider, as well, the passage in which God says unambiguously that He has a face, a hand and a back (Exodus 33:1823)! The only way to understand this passage from Exodus without making a mockery of Gods word is to agree that God has a shape and a body!
So, how is God everywhere? We already read the answer, in Davids words: Where can I go from your Spirit? (Psalm 139:7). It is by their Spirit that the Father and the glorified Christ have complete access to their creation! Through His Spirit, Gods reach extends to every nook and cranny of the universe, and there isas David wroteno place to flee from His presence. Yet He still retains a shapea bodyruling in glory from His throne in heaven. It is from there that His eyes behold the sons of men (Psalm 11:4).
We must also note that although God is omnipresent through His Spirit, we can become separated from Him. In fact, we are warned, your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear (Isaiah 59:2). Jesus Christ experienced this horrible separation during His crucifixion, when on our behalf He took upon Himself the full penalty of our sins (cf. Mark 15:34; Isaiah 53:45).
The worlds scholars and theologians often have a wrong idea about Gods omnipresence. But if we let Gods flawless word teach us what Gods omnipresence truly means, our footing is made sure.
God is everywhere, in the known, and unknown universe. And the Spirit of God is infinite.
God cannot be put into a "time" box.
Look at it this way.
In the beginning, just before God created the heavens and earth, He was existing out side of time [because time didn't exist]. That's still his dwelling place but He may go wherever He wishes. And does.
