it's not easy for a human to guess what time does mean, if yes so what is before the time ?!, does time go on until infinity ?! for many years ago there was a religious controversy about time .. it was about a simple question .. is time is a creature like any other creatures god had created ?!! It's hard to answer this question but some religious texts were very clear about this subject .. they talked about "the time of god" they said that a day in god's time has more time than the day in our life !!! Waiting for you opinion

For me, there is no deep meaning of time at all. For what we call time right now is what the clock measures right? And if you look at it in a bigger picture, this "time" as we call it is just a series of events. There are questions then that if everything doesn't change and progresses, will there still be time? Oh well, I don't know about that as aspects of this phenomenon isn't fully understood by science itself. Maybe, just maybe, time doesn't exist in God's realm, only in our world... Why? As said, time is just events, and God planned everything already, what is to come and is to happen, meaning, everything SHALL happen according to his plan and those events are counted by these element; which is time. The events God planned for us might not be remember fully, instead there is time,to be able to measure back the events of the past. I'm sorry, I'm terrible with explanation. I guess what I'm saying is that time wouldn't go infinite because God planned an end to everything we see, God limits the events for us humans, and when it stops, it stops right there. Yes God created time, as God creature these events that is happening. God's time as said for me is the "moment" of God to manifest into our realm. (Sorry again, I hope you caught my idea)

Time is a way for us to organize data in our minds. I argue that "infinity" is not endless time, but rather timelessness. So does time go on until infinity? Using my definition, it doesn't make sense. Is time a creature? I don't believe that time is any sort of entity. A day in time is 24 hours. A "day" in timelessness perhaps could be felt as endless.

Friend nice question and according to me time is money and time is like a river if once the flows of water you cannot catch it. It means if once time is gone never came back again so the people should know the value of time. Even you can earn more money if it is lost but you cannot catch the time if it is lost.

yes it does. my religion,islam.said that, one day in god's time is equal with 1000 year in our life. and i do believe that. if the time has come, exactly after all ofhuman in this world, a new universe will began, there is only eternity. in indonesia, it is called as "akhirat" if someone has good charity, they will be in the heaven, but if they have a bad charity, they will send in hell for so long time.

Time technically arose when God created the "lights in the firmament of heaven that will be for signs, for seasons, days and years." (Genesis 1:14) As earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis, time passes. Hence, time is a fragment of such cosmic cycle. Time is an incidental result of creating the day and night, the sun and the moon. Those saying that God's time is more than the day in our life err in not knowing the Bible. God is not bound by time as He is eternal, He has power over time. (Acts 1:7) They may be referring to 2 Peter 3:8 which they misunderstood. The passage points to God's nature of not being bound by time. It means that for God, a day is no different with a thousand years. Because of this, He is long-suffering towards us because He does not want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3:9)

There is deep meaning of time in this life. Time is everything and it is ticking by very quickly. However, when we get to the next life (Heaven) we will not have time at all. There are some sects of people in this life who live by no time at all. Time has become extremely important for many of us, but in Heaven we will have no concept of time at all. We will live for eternity if we have accepted Jesus. If you look at the bigger picture everyone finds that time is an important part of their life. Birthdays, Christmas and other holidays all signify that a portion of time has gone by. I am constantly obsessed by time and how quickly it goes. Since I had children this time goes even quicker.
