Debunking The Hellenistic Myth: Why Christians Should Believe That God Is In Time
Piate Pietro 2 (2):16-22 (2017)
Abstract
In this essay I will try to convince you:
(1) that the question of God’s relation to time is of practical relevance for every believer
(2) that the idea of God being outside time is a philosophically untenable concept which creates major clashes with Christian doctrine and therefore that every Christian should adopt some temporalist view of God
To do that, I will present four arguments against the “outside time” view of God. I then briefly treat the question where the idea of God’s timelessness presumably came from and conclude with an outlook on problems that temporalist accounts of God must face.
