How God relates to time is not something we are going to get our heads around, so I agree with Vinnie…
Maybe it’s not that I’m confused, but more willing to accept the apparent paradox from our limited perspective in four-dimensional spacetime.
I think we’re clueless as to the ‘how’, but not to the ‘who’, namely God, and we are definitely not clueless with respect to ‘that’ he relates and acts into our existence, past and present. So we have Cause and effect, but the in-between how will continue to be a delightful mystery.
I’m pretty much compelled to think that God is omnitemporal for several reasons, none of which are made up.
Fairly recently noted in the discussion you mentioned about the A & B theories, the concept introduced by Brian Greene of ‘angled’ spacetime slices across the ‘loaf’ of the universe shows, as we already knew really, that the passage of time is relative, and relative to speed. Using the well-known physics from last century, namely relativity and big bang cosmology, Greene demonstrates “the illusion of time”, not that we are not limited to sequential time, ‘A theory’, in our lives.
It was also demonstrated that the past, the present and the future are simultaneously ‘observable’ by someone with a privileged perspective, and we had just such privilege, but only conceptually, not in reality, as we observed his presentation. (Speaking of which, @dayne12, where in the world do you live? Were you able to access and stream the video, and if not, see the transcript?)
We know of someone (or Someone) who has that privileged perspective in reality – I was surprised to learn of Christians who did not understand that God is omnipresent. His omnipresence in all spacetime slices, and the instantaneity of it, entails his omnitemporality, not that we can comprehend it, but we may at least apprehend it, touch it a little, as God touches our lives.
So our limitation to sequential time and God’s omnitemporality combine to give us not A theory or B theory, but both/and. And a mystery, the mystery of God’s providential ‘how’, how he orchestrates events, their timing and placing as we know he does.
