[Hank Kerchief]

I am only curious about this in a couple of ways. I'm making no argument here.

You wrote: “We humans experience Time in a certain limited way (irreversible linear series of moments moving past–present–future). God does not.”

The first curiosity is, how would you possibly know how God experiences anything, much less time?

Secondly, do you think “time” is a thing or an attribute?

I do not, by the way, believe time is a thing. For me, time is a concept for the relationship between motions, just as linear dimension is concept for the positional relationships between things. I think, to treat time as a “thing” with metaphysical attributes of some kind, is hypostatization or reification. (I'll happily accuse Einstein of that mistake.)

I don't think you agree with that though, and would be interested in why not.

Finally, one other irresistible question. Do you think for God, time is reversible? (That, for example, a child could become a baby, reenter the womb and become a fetus, then a zygote, then split into an egg and sperm, etc.)?

Hope you are having a good day.

Hank: The first curiosity is, how would you possibly know how God experiences anything, much less time?

bb: I don't. But I have very good reasons for believing that He doesn't experience Time as humans do (unless He wants to, as with Jesus Christ Incarnate), based on category reasons. The Creator and the created "occupy" distinctly different logical categories, which are decidedly inequivalent. Thus one cannot use finite concepts as a measure of God's timelessness, or Eternity. I AM and Eternal Now express the reality of the divine Nature. That's all I need to know.

Hank: Secondly, do you think “time” is a thing or an attribute?

bb: I think it is neither. I think of it as "context" in which things happen i.e., events occur. It is essential to causal entailment in Nature. (So is Space.)

Hank: Finally, one other irresistible question. Do you think for God, time is reversible?

bb: Time itself is a "creature" of God. The Creator is not subject to the laws governing the Creation. One imagines questions regarding the reversibility or irreversibility of time are moot to the Being wholly outside of Time — in Whom we mortals live and move and have our being....

It's a rainy day today. Again. Sigh....

But I'm good! I'm wishing you the same Hank!

Good question...
But which God?.. The judeo-christian one?..
The one that allegedly made this Universe?..
