Featured Is Time a dimension or a Measurement?

Heaven is not located in what we consider to be real time and space, is it?

 

I have no idea. And I'm okay with that.

 

It is timeless though, and made up of "stuff" that would not be same as what we know matter as being, not physical as we define it!

 

Just because something is not in the Bible does not mean it isn't true and I'll side with those theologians who surmise that God indeed does exist outside of time. He was there in the beginning as He is here right now.

We know very little of what actually is because we exist in only one part of time - the here and now. I think it will be only when we move over into the next dimension will we be able to fully comprehend every fact of the unknown i.e. the why of all that we go through and all that exists.

 

length is a dimension
Width is a dimension
depth is a dimension
time is a dimension

The can be expanded and shrunk based on velocity.

The thing people are missing is they think that in a higher dimension ... the lower dimensions do not "exist" which is false. Higher dimensions must include every dimension below them to even have the higher dimension.

 

Time is eternity marked off for man by God. Man has divided time into femto seconds and smaller--more than the time he spends with his Creator. Man worships the creation which somehow evolved with little or no help from the supernatural.

Using Peter's equation for time: 1000 years = 1 day, Jesus has not yet been gone two days. If we live to be 100 earth years, that is 2.4 hrs. in God's time.

The chronology is according to Divine Plan, on time, since before time and surely coming to pass on time.

Time is a dimension of sorts--like X-Y-Z. But there are dimensions the nature of which we have not a clue.

Man still thinks he evolved, given enough time. Man knows not how to calibrate his chronometer.

Man can look at creation at 50,000 diameters and still not proclaim: "My God, how great thou art." The response is more like: "My Big Bang, how great thou art." Man still has difficulty in contemplating his navel. Obesity is rampant.

It is 1159 pm on the 6th day since creation. Where will we spend eternity?

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Bro. James

 

I believe that "the beginning" in Jn 1:1refers to the beginning of time.

 

At the most fundamental level, time describes a sequence. First one thing happens, and then another.

We know from observation that the passing of time (sequence of events) is measured/observed at different rates according to velocity and gravity.

As humans, built of matter and operating within a certain set of physical circumstances in our natural environment, are living within a sequence of events. We are tied to what is called time and our experience with this sequence can be measured accurately from our various similar positions of observation/experience.

Knowing these things about time, we can speculate that God observes time (sequences) quite differently than we do since, with the exception of the incarnation, God is not composed of matter and confined to physical circumstances.

 

The creation of all things....

 

The creation of angels?

 

True. Without time there is no "and then this happened" and so no "And then God said ..." because that would be an event that takes place in time.

 

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". This is before "day 1" of Earth's creation week.
On day 1 the earth is already formless and void with water covering the surface of the deep. (Oceans)

not -- "in the beginning God created time"...
