   Rather, God is in some third kind of relation to time. One in-between position is that God is not within our time, but he is within his own time. In this view, God’s inner life is sequential and, therefore, temporal, but his relation to our temporal sequence is “all at once.”. In a sense, God has his own time line.

   Mar 22, 2018 · On this view, God is located at all times, God experiences succession, and God has lived through and will live through a non-finite past and future. The idea here is that God is in (our, physical) time/spacetime, and God is a temporal being in just the way we are, except that the temporal extent of God’s life is infinite.

   Aug 1, 2001 · Many philosophers have followed Boethius in this, holding that God is in no way a temporal being, but is rather the creator of time, with complete and equal access to all of its contents. And it may well appear that on such a view God’s omniscience is restored, in that he has immediate cognitive access to everything that will ever occur.

   Somewhat more “evangelical” philosophers like Nelson Pike 3, Stephen Davis 4, and Thomas V. Morris 5 opt for the temporal view of God, even if they reject some of the heretical extremes of process and open theism. So, like the timeless view of God, the temporal view of God has a fairly mixed and diverse group of adherents.

   Since God is a necessary being, and God undergoes such change, A-theory-type time (required for change) exists necessarily. Divine sovereignty emerges unscathed on this view because God willingly takes temporal properties like succession into his life. It is by being temporal that God perfectly realizes his ultimate purposes for creation.

   Sep 19, 2024 · It is true on this view as well that God is not in our time, but he experiences temporal succession in his being. Our time is constituted by physical time. God’s time (metaphysical time) has no intrinsic metric and is constituted purely by the divine life itself. 2 If God is omnitemporal, his metaphysical time does map in some way onto his our physical time.

   Can God be temporal?

   • On the other hand, says Davies, neither can God be temporal. For if God exists in time, then He is subject to the laws of relativity theory which govern space and time, and therefore He cannot be omnipotent because he's under the laws of nature. So the theist is confronted with a dilemma.

   Is God within our time?

   • One in-between position is that God is not within our time, but he is within his own time. In this view, God’s inner life is sequential and, therefore, temporal, but his relation to our temporal sequence is “all at once.” In a sense, God has his own time line. He is not located at any point in our time line.

   What is God's temporality?

   • The proponent of divine temporality defines God as a maximally perfect being who has no beginning or end but instead possesses a life of either infinite duration or duration that lasts for all time (if time is finite not infinite), and who also experiences succession and temporal location.

   Is God in time?

   • God’s relation to time, however, is a topic about which there continues to be deep disagreement. From Augustine through Aquinas, the major thinkers argued that God was not in time at all. They thought of God as eternal, in the sense that he is timeless or atemporal. Now, the dominant view among philosophers is that God is temporal.

   Is God a temporal event?

   • For example, being wholly future relative to some temporal event is a TTP; but God, even if he is temporal, does not have that property. God has no beginning. As a result his life is not wholly future to any temporal event. God’s life, like any life, is an event, but it is one in which time does not pass and in which no change takes place.

   Are humans temporal beings?

   • Humans, too, are temporal beings. As such, understanding the nature of time has been a philosophical pursuit since the pre-Socratic philosophers. Theologians have not been exempted from this interest, and thus, unsurprisingly, reflection on God’s relation to time similarly spans back many hundreds of years.

   Jul 23, 2002 · So if you're going to maintain that God is both temporal and atemporal, you need to provide some sort of a model that would make sense of that. But obviously, in this case neither of these two alternatives would do because one part of God can't be temporal and the other part atemporal, because as an immaterial being God doesn't have separable ...
