In fact, we cannot even begin to describe how an "timeless" Being relates to the time that it has created without the use of words bound in chronology or defined with words relating to "time".

But God doesn't have that problem, does he?

It is not a problem for God to understand -but that is irrelevant for it is not God that is trying to convince me of your pseudo-philosophical speculations, it is a finite, time-bound creature.

It is a "problem" for the finite, time-bound creatures that we are. Thus, it is a problem for a finite, time-bound creature to even begin to attempt to describe how a time-less God relates to "time" and then to base one's understanding of Scripture on such speculation.
