God and time

We know those in the kingdom of God experience the passage of time. If you are questioning that fact there is nothing I can say.
Do we know the Creator is bound in time? That is the topic, not what the creation experiences.

You are off topic. The OP is about God being in time or not. I'm reining you back in to the topic.
You are dodging the question. Did you provide a verse to support God does not operate within time? Nope. Did those in God's spiritual kingdom experience the passage of time? Yes.

So we have scripture to support God choosing to operate in time, and agenda driven speculation claiming God operates outside of time. Go figure.

That's not even the topic. Focus big guy!

Is God held within time?
Off topic, God is all powerful;, but He does as He chooses and He has chosen to operate in time.
Pay no attention to all these Calvinist claims devoid of support from scripture. Believe what scripture actually says, not in the speculation of men

Of course God operates within His creation, which exists in time.
Is God confined in time? Ultimately do you think time is a creation of God or is time like God, eternal?

was time around forever, eternal as God himself?
God interacts in linear time, see the Incarnation, but is he bound to JUST operate within confines of linear time now?

Are you advocating for some kind of Open theism?

Time depends solely on the movement of the sun moon and stars. without them there is no time.

Not at all, just denying that time existed eternally, or that God somehow is trapped/bounded within it!
HE wouldn't be no matter what. Although Jesus in HIS kenosis yielded to its boundaries.

there is a sense in which everything is eternal seeing that God knows all from beginning to end, no?
