Short story: God in his time

Tweet

The philosopher, Sydney Norman, was discussing the idea of what time is with his friend George. Sydney said, "It is said that God is the light of the world." "The scientist Einstein claimed that light controls time, so does God also control time, and so he is its master too?" George replied, "God sets time within motion in the world, and each thing created has its own time-clock within it. So time is relative, but not to light as such, but to each part of creation, separately so." "Light is not subject to time, as God is not either." Sydney then added: "Does God live in the timeless present at all times then, or not?" "Does God live in time, or out of time? George answered him like this: "Love moves in and out of time, and is the same love, and so does God; he moves in, and out, of time, as he wills to do so too. "God exists at all levels of existing, and some levels are timed, and some not timed, as at the top of all time is the timeless realm of oneness, as it is, its most concentrated self, whilst under this top level is creation, a splitting of oneness by time into parts that last apart, only while that time is within that part." "I was reading this interesting verse from the Christian Bible," Sydney then offered: "Psalm 90, verse 2, says this:" '"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."' "What does this verse mean then?" Goerge replied: "God existed before existence, and he will exist after existence too, as God is the all in all, and there is nothing existing apart from God, but once created, God allows existence to keep existing, and to have the chance to earn eternal existence outside of timed existence too, if they accept his love as a part of themselves in this life which is the timed one." "That's pretty well said, George," Sydney said, "But, I am getting a headache now, let's leave the conversation here for now." So, they parted ways, until the next time they could have such a philosophic discussion again.
