Podcast Episode - Is God Timeless?

I'll admit, I have spent little time formally investigating this subject, but it is nonetheless fascinating to me. In this episode of the Trinities podcast Dr. Dale Tuggy interviews Dr. R.T. Mullins regarding the topic of his new book, The End of the Timeless God.

"In this episode, Dr. Mullins surveys current philosophies of time and change, explains his understanding of time, analyzes the meaning of traditional claims that God is “timeless,” gives an objection or two to divine timelessness, and discusses previous theologians who’ve taken the minority view that God is temporal."

Have a listen, perhaps there are things about God and his relationship to matter, space and time that we don't yet know (said with a bit of cheek).

The Future

Some great contemplations from Skip Moen.
"The God of Aquinas is an idea—an idea of total control, total information, total determinism; a God who encapsulates every cause and effect explanation including your actions. But this is not the Hebrew God. The Hebrew God is fundamentally personal, and that means the future is not fixed. God does not know everything that you will do in advance."
