Fantastic post, A-G. Thanks also to Kolo.

As far as "time" is concerned, it records change. Change is the result of corruption, for that which is incorrupt doesn't change. Thus, we say that God is eternal (a chronological concept) because He is without corrption and outside of nature (i.e. supra-natural).

God certainly did not create time, as we know it, as He did not create corruption. Genesis speaks of 'days' but these are not earthly days; rather they represent God's creative work.

Corruption is found in all of Creation, as we can witness galactic cataclysms from millions of years ago.

Galactic collisions, supernovae explosions of dying stars, etc. all point towards corruption, yet obviously these worlds were not created for us, and therefore could not have been affected by our Fall.

In other words, the galactic realities tell us that corruption predates man. And that clashes with everything the Bible says.

Something is amiss.

Not my reality.

God is unchanging in an unknown number of His attributes. Yet, Moses changed His mind.

God’s creativity also shows God’s delight in doing new things in new ways.

Christ’s public earthly ministry also illustrated the diversity of different, CHANGED ways HE CHOSE to relate to questions, issues, truths in transmitting to His listeneers.

There is nothing about CHANGE which is inherently evil or corrupt. That’s an inference, assumption, extrapolation . . . and, to me, not a very logical one, at that.
