FBR Episode 4 How Does God See Time

January 17, 2025

If God is Transcendent (outside of time), then how does He relate to our physical time domain? Bible prophecy makes it clear that God can predict the future. But is the future “set”?  If so, then is everything already predetermined?  Do we really have free will?  We’ll examine how God might experience time in this podcast, including:

  • Can causality alone explain how God can predict the future?
  • Why looking at the past can help us understand how God sees the future.
  • Does God see the future happen, or does He make it happen (or both)?
  • How do stories give us a glimpse of the eternal perspective?
  • Can we get insight into how God experiences time by watching Star Wars movies (even the crappy episodes)?
