Do you think GOD works in time so totally different from our sense of time?
That in a infinite world that GOD dwells the exsistence of earth might be only a couple years old? If a thousand years is one day in GOD's time Jesus only has been gone off the earth maybe 3 or 4 days...
And if Jesus were to fullfill all the prophecies at the time of his first coming how many people would of been granted eternal life? maybe just a handful, so GOD waited for the world to have 6 Billion people on the planet so more would have the opportunity to experience GOD's Hoy Infinite Kingdom?

God gave us the concept of time so WE could mark our days. As humans we are not yet spiritually advanced enough to exist without some sort of measure of time. God, however, has no need to mark time because He is eternal. Once we move beyond the realm of this earth we too will be part of eternity. This world is all about limits. We gage and mark and define everything by some sort of parameter. In the world to come there will no longer be a need for these boundaries heavily weighted by such earthly things as material goods and personal possessions. We will focus more on knowledge, wisdom and the development of our souls.

God doesn’t measure time as we know it, neither is He limited by space and time as we are because He is outside the confines of space and time. He “sees” the past, present and future. To try and explain it, picture yourself at the top of a cliff. Below you is a river with bends and turns and white water rafting tours going down the river at regular intervals. The people at the top of the river who are getting ready to start can’t see the people in the middle and the people in the middle can’t see the people at the bottom who just finished. You can see all three groups of people because you are not on the river and therefore not limited to just one view. While the time is different to the three groups (start, middle, finish) it is all the same to you - now.
I hope that was more helpful than confusing!

Absolutely -- God exists completely outside of time, which is a concept that so many people ignore when considering matters such as pre-destination.
Not only does He exist outside of time, but in a sense, WE DO TOO! Ephesians 2:6 tells us that we're already seated with Christ in Heaven. How that's possible is a mystery to us now, but soon it won't be.

GOD's time is different then ours.
Jesus died about 33AD
its 2008 so Jesus has been gone 1975 years about 1 day and 23 years, just short of 2 days according to God's time.

You are attempting to limit G-d to your own understanding.
You cannot put human boundaries such as time on an eternal and non-human G-d.
G-d, being eternal, functions outside of and independent of time. Understanding that is how we know that the covenant at Sinai is as valid today a yesterday- for there is no today or yesterday at Sinai- or anywhere that the eternal one is present.
You will never fathom G-d in the least if you continue trying to force him to comply to your own limitations.

It is very hard for us to imagine life without a system of ordered time,we experience life from one moment to the next, but God is ouside the confines of time and space.
God sees all history as one event from beginning to end and because He is eternal then it follows that all things created were always within His thoughts.
God bless.

unique sin would not circulate back to caveman days. It is going back to the priesthood. we are informed via the clergymen that mankind introduced unique sin down upon us, and God replaced into in basic terms no longer all-powerful sufficient to take it away returned. So this creates a extensive guilt complicated interior the believers. yet wait, say the clergymen, there is wish. because of the fact Jesus replaced into killed (can all of us say human blood sacrifice?) for you in case you think you would be saved. exhilaration for the believers and much greater guilt for people who question the dogma. (no longer in easy terms are they a sinner, yet they are rejecting the discomfort and suffering that Jesus went nonetheless.) And whilst they swallow this fable the clergymen have them hooked for existence. Rational people will ask your self in basic terms how all-powerful and loving God is that if he's compelled to push sin onto mankind, and then the only way he can save them is to have his son come down in human kind and be brutally killed. Is that truly the acceptable theory that an all-powerful, omnicognizant, all loving deity might desire to arise with? It jogs my memory of the Woody Allen quote: If it appears that evidently there is a God, i do no longer think of that he's evil. however the worst which you will say approximately him is that truly he's an underachiever. people have developed to be sympathetic to those that they understand. this might nicely be a survival trait for societies. Anarchistic societies have died out because of the fact the cooperative societies have more desirable quicker and greater proper and supplanted them. Ethics and morality are memes, those evolve in societies interior an identical way that genes evolve in bodies. This has been occurring on condition that earlier people existed. To characteristic such habit on your man or woman deity is insulting to the humanity of the guy and denying the fact of tens of millions of years of the evolution of societies.

According to the Bible, God created the Earth, Stars and everything.....So until the Earth was created there was no time(at least the way we see it).

I know that God knows what He's doing.
He doesn't run the universe on man's schedule, but His own. If man wants to complain about it, too bad. God doesn't have to answer to anyone for anything.
All we can do is respect Him and trust He loves us as well as all mankind enough to what's best for everyone in the long run.
God bless!

God is eternal.
He lives outside of our Earthly time dimension.
He sees OUR past, present, and future NOW.
