even if you dont believe in God, consider how could time have a point of origin? If you believe in God and decide God began 1 and 1000 zeros years ago, how much time-moments elapsed before His existence. Even if it is only a complete void---how many moments elapse that the absolute void is there? God says I have no beginning and no ending. If God is time it is understandable. Even in nothingness moments elapse. God says He made the universe out of nothing. That also becomes understandable when you understand that time has no absolute beginning and it stands to reason that at some point there was absolute nothingness in which things later came into being. God is time. No beginning and no ending.

God could not invent time, because there would be a time before God invented it.

How can God go on, and time stop---moments would still be elaspsing for God to continue????

Time is a created concept based upon a reality. We do not understand or know what time is, so, at least for now, it is merely a label that we stick on the reality of what we observe, and what we refer to as time.
God is outside of time, hence the meaning of the word "eternal". All other things are "temporal," which means that they are subject to and affected by time. God is not temporal, except when He comes to us as Jesus, God the Son. Jesus, as a man, was made eternal by God, but Jesus is also the eternal God.
God is the one who causes time to exist, to flow.
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Time is linear, we go from the past, into the future, always staying in the present. Eternity is all there, always. It is impossible for us to imagine.

you are attempting to use theoretical physics on the concept, and applying it incorrectly.
time is a function of the universe, and began with the first instant of the big bang. there is not such thing as "before" time was created, because there was no time. time, itself, does have a begining.
this argument is acctually better suited to those attempting to provide arguments for the standard view of god than those against it. if god created the universe, then he exists outside the universe..... and those things that exist outside the universe exist outside time... and therefore have no begining or end. it is one of very few areas where science and religion click.... whatever resulted in the big bang was before time, and by definition unknowable. (there are many ideas that allow it to happen spontaneously, but it is still unknowable.)
the real contradiction of the scenario is not the feasibility of something outside our universe, but that something outside the universe would have the ability, or the inclination, to take such an active role in the relatively minor events of a small planet, and the caotic system of life that has developed here.

Time keeps on slipping into the future, it is the entanglement, the threads, of the multiverse, stacked dimensions exited via black holes.

By definition, 'God' cannot equal time because 'God' is superior to all. Which in its essence proves that 'God' does not exist. Because in order to exists, he would have to be equal to something, If only his own quantitative sum.

God always was, and always will be. Time could end, but not God.
