Well, Augie of Hippo is pretty straightforward about HIS not understanding time, that’s true.

But we generally say,”Time is the measure of change (or motion).” Even our perception of time implies a change in ourselves.

The more demanding aspect of this is dealing with the relationship between time and eternity. But since God does not change (as Scripture saith) then his eternity must somehow include or “comprehend” all time which he “beholds” at once in his eternal “Now”.

Because we are time bound we must speak of God as changing. But that is a trick of our perception and of our condition. What we see and describe as change (for example, God “repenting of the evil) is more like the revelation of the timeless in time.

Now, want me to explain the infield fly rule? That’s REALLY hard.
