Earlier this year, I addressed a reader question about time and how God relates to it. Talking about time can be tricky, because our subjective experience of the passing of time is so fundamental that it’s difficult to get any distance for a new perspective. We just know that time advances continuously from the past into the future at 1 second per second, and everything exists and happens in the liminal present between the two. So it’s only natural to imagine God must have some kind of similar experience, at the very least by virtue of having been incarnated. At the same time, our understanding of time from physics suggests that time itself is part of creation. Thus we want to say that the Creator exists outside (?) or maybe before (?) or at least independent of time. These two ideas appear difficult to reconcile.
