Who came up with the idea that "god" is outside the time/space continuum?

Question

Isn't this just a new load of CRAP.... another cop out ...?

Listen to the BS thinking of this: "Since science can find no evidence of god anywhere in the reality of our own space and time, he must be outside the places where science can conduct reasonable searches."

LOL.... Really. Whose phony idea is this? Who gets the credit for this latest bit of nonsense? I'd really like to know...

Answer 1

Does your mom allow you on the computer often just so you can show your immaturity by ignorantly attacking others who believe in something you don't?

Your pathetic, limited, puny, finite, earthly, sin-tainted mind can't grasp infinity or the idea that God is Spirit and not subject to the limitations of science. He is so vast and has so much power that He fills the universe and yet is invisible
to those who are spiritually blind in sin. Science will never discover God because science depends on proof that they can touch with their intellect. God surpasses all that.

He is, was and always will be, and is Eternal. Somewhere
in eternity God created time, and somewhere in eternity He
will put an end to time as we know it and eternity will continue on as it always has. Time exists in eternity.

Now you have an option. You can hang on to your smallness of mind and reject wisdom that comes from God and die in your sin and finally realize God's eternity in a very abrupt way
or you can repent of your unbelief, ask God to forgive you for your sin with all your heart, believe in your heart that Christ died to purchase your forgiveness and pardon and receive eternal life from God as a free gift that none of us deserve.

You see, I met God over 33 years ago, and He cleared up all my misconceptions about Him. I thought it was a bunch of CRAP as you say, but I wasn't so closed minded that I could not be taught so He taught me. Wake up and smell the roses before it is too late for you. God is willing to forgive you when you humble yourself and ask.

Answer 2

I don't know who's idea this is, and I'm not a physics major, but time is actually a law in the universe, like gravity. Time can be affected by speed and gravity. If God is a God who transcends creation, then it logically follows that He will also be outside of time, because time is just another part of creation.
Also the person who commented that science wouldn't know God if they saw His face is a good point.

Answer 3

It is a pretty sophisticated philosophical concept for dealing with the notion of God's omniscience and unchanging nature. It also is completely incompatible with the traditional Christian doctrines of free will (since the whole of history exists eternally and we are then not even predestined, but automatons who experience the illusion of choice because we think the filmstrip is playing scenes in succession when in fact the whole thing always exists) and incarnation (the idea of an unchanging essence entering time is incoherent) and personal relationship with God (relationship without succession is equally incoherent a concept). The idea is an interesting one philosophically, but best discarded as it is at best meaningless, and at worst incompatible with the core beliefs of those who uphold it!

Answer 4

How does a so-referred to as black hollow influence "our"universe? we don't understand simply by fact we can't get close adequate to define it. coated in the definition, may be "propeties". In "our" universe all of us understand approximately area, time, mass, gravity, etc., and that there are co-family between them. Time is composed of many rendevous factors for those co-family to ensue. So, time is form of a matrix, wherein the area of our being that has touching on time, occurs. That area of our being that relies upon on time may be our bodies. Eternity is a place the place, we are instructed, flesh and blood can't stay.-I Timothy 6:sixteen. we are instructed that component would be now no longer, at some destiny, on earth.-Rev.10:6. So, one might desire to take a position and say that component seperates our universe from eternity, or we are in a position to have confidence that Yahshua knew what he replaced into speaking approximately, and not worry approximately having to make transitions.

Answer 5

This argument isn't anything new, but it's still not a valid one.

Once you step outside the continuum of time and space that we, as humans, exist in, anything goes. Not only can a god exist, but an all-malodorous sneeblebarbet can as well.

You don't know what a stinky sneeblebarbet is, do you? You demand evidence?

I can't give you evidence. I have faith that the sneeblebarbet exists. The smell of fresh air is proof that he exists... you can't test his existence because he's outside of time and space.

Answer 6

Actually it is that very notion that created the Jewish concept of God. Other religions up until that time conceived that God was within us, or that earthly time was basically eternal. The Jewish religion began with the statement that God preceded the universe and that there was a definite beginning to our natural world. God is supernatural, and as so is not bound by the laws of nature, does not need an origin like all physical things do, and is timeless.

Answer 7

Scripture says time does not move for God as it does for man. So this view of time is not a new concept to Christians, only to physicists.

Answer 8

the Bible tells us that GOD has his own time frame, that his "day" may be different than our 24 hour day, but hundreds or possibly thousands of years. It further says that in the last days many will be skeptical while others attempt to narrow it down to the hour but the end will come "like a thief in the night".

Answer 9

When faced with any amount of scientific data Christianity and religion in general has to change some how to fit the new "accepted" data.

Answer 10

So, is it more reasonable to you that God is within His creation? Why is that? How do you reconcile God's middle knowledge with a belief that God is confined to His own creation?

God dwells in the eternal present.

In Christ
