I read C.S Lewis in your comments. I know C.S Lewis. You're repeating what he said. Not what God has revealed. There is not such thing as the "Eternal now".
I told you, I have never studied this man. nor have I adopted religions that do. I posted God's Words, and my understanding of them not mans. Please stop being dishonest about the content of my posts.
There is past, present (NOW) and future with God. This all combines to form an endless Eternity.
Yes, no beginning and no end. "How old is God?" This cannot be measured as HE exists in a realm where ""Time" as we know it, cannot exist. I have a yesterday, divided from today by darkness. I hope for a tomorrow, divided from today by darkness. I cannot exist "Yesterday", nor can I exist "tomorrow". I can only exist NOW. His Realm has no darkness to divide the days. There is no "Yesterday" with God. There is no tomorrow with God. Only Day, forever.
What about "worlds without end"?
We don't live in a world without end now, in my understanding. But God does, Yes? Our world will come to an end, at least according to Scriptures. But the Kingdom of God, the world where Israel will be, is a world
without end. A new Heavens and a New Earth for us, not God, where there is no darkness, and therefore no division of the darkness from the light, which is where the "Days", seasons, months and years come from. There will only be DAY, forever. This is where the Throne of God exists now as it also existed in Moses "Time" and Noah's "Time", and where the faithful will reside at the end of "Their Time", as Isaiah declares.
Is. 45:
17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
I believe, according to Study, that God exists in this world without end right now, and in my yesterday HE is there too, and in my tomorrow, HE is there as well. Before HE created my world and my reality, God still existed in a world without beginning and without end.
Have you ever studied that statement in Scripture? I have. Please answer if you've ever studied this before personally. Don't go "study it now" and pretend you have.
I have studied a great deal, including this topic and the Scriptures you referenced. But who am I, just a man, Yes? I am learning and growing in the knowledge of God every week, from Sabbath to Sabbath. God doesn't change, but my understanding of Him grows and has grown for over 30 years. I understand differently today, than 15 or 30 years ago when my journey began. Am I perfect? No, but I press toward the Prize of that very high calling. Do I know everything, like you? No, but I open my heart to Him to grow in the knowledge of Him as HE reveals to me through the Scriptures His Truths, understanding that God drives out the darkness in my heart, little by little.
Deut. 7:
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. 21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. 22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver (Reveal) them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. Jesus speaks to this darkness in John 3: 19-21.
My understanding of "Time" is gained through study of Scriptures. I have posted them for review and discussion and as anyone can see this topic is important to me, and I have spent a great deal of "Time" in study and prayer concerning it. Could I be mistaken? Of course. But only a fool would take the word of some random preacher, over what the Scriptures I have posted actually say.
Just want to make sure that I'm actually dealing with an opposing mature position on this topic. Most people don't have enough knowledge to even form an opinion. They just repeat others.
I agree that this is true concerning most religious people, however, there is even more troubling practices which exists among "many" who "Profess to know God". And that is to purposely misrepresent someone in order to exalt themselves over them, in a biblical discussion. Like when a man posts a God inspired Word from Jeremiah, and the opposition accuses them of claiming to be Jeremiah. "I mean do you really believe you are a "Jeremiah"? Or when a person promotes the belief that God exists in Jeremiah's past, present and future, the opposer mocks by saying God is "globe spinning to know Jeremiah".
I too, "Just want to make sure that I'm actually dealing with an opposing mature position on this topic".
Men who engage in this practice are not serious about God, in my experience.
