Read Thomas of Aquinas. Time is the numbering of movement. The assigning of numbers to motion.
Everything is in motion, having received its impetus from another object; all motion can be traced back to the Prime Mover, God, who exists outside the time continuum.
What the contemporary world needs is a return to the teachings of St. Thomas of Aquinas
Quote-what the contemporary world needs is a return to the teachings of St. Thomas of Aquinas
If St. Thomas of Aquinas numbered His Days like the Father does in His Word and His Calendar, it would erase lots of false teachings- and false worship.
But how to tell people today isn’t really named after a false goddess named Friy or frigg.
Tough to worship the Father in Spirit and Truth when things like Thor or the moon or the sun gets a ‘day’.
But we can be assured His Day is coming.
And the Kingdom will have zero to do with naming days after false gods or created things..
Truly amazing how scripture says times and law would change, and the world can’t see it. But that is the subtlety of the enemy.
I like the formulation of the Moody Bible Institute video: God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent...all powerful, all knowing, all present. Because, as Einstein revealed, space and time are inextricably linked in a multidimensional continuum, God at once exists in the past, present, and future — “I am.”
Helps me cope with grief over the loss of loved ones, especially my parents. They are with God, and time is all-present for them, as well. From that perspective, it means all who are saved by the Blood of the Savior already are joined together in Paradise. It’s only for those of us in the mortal phases of our lives who experience the passage of time and feel the longing and loss, when in fact we already have Eternal life.
Well, at least that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. Happy New Year!
“God, who exists outside the time continuum.”
This is the salient point to remember.
