and an excellent question it is. i have a very hard time thinking of time as a "thing." time, it seems, is simply a way to measure duration. it is sort of like saying "miles per hour" is a thing, in and of itself. really, it is not. it is simply a measurement.but that raises the question of whether time is a "thing" to be created or an aspect of reality that God enjoyed pre-creation.
My mistake.Derek, I was responding to the idea that God does not actively control all things from an Arminian perspective, hence a mere spectator. I was not affirming that God was “only” outside of time and not actively involved in the unfolding of it.
No, I quoted TK's statement and your response to it. I wasn't the only one who thought you were contradicting yourself. No conspiracy, just a misunderstanding.You are selectively quoting me out of the given context.
It was nice talking to you bro. God bless...tartanarmy wrote:Thanks Derek, but I am no longer posting here.
