GOD’S ETERNITY LO: I will understand and assess the evidence to support God as ‘timeless’ and God as everlasting. Starter: ‘There is nothing more to the universe other than what can be empirically tested for.’ Discuss. Faith over Reason Reason defends faith A bit of both Reason defeats faith

GOD IS ETERNAL – WHAT DO WE MEAN BY ETERNAL? Read through pg of blue A2 textbooks and identify two ways of understanding the term ‘eternal’ when talking about God.

GOD IS ETERNAL – WHAT DO WE MEAN BY ETERNAL? God is timeless : past, present and future are all alike to him. God stands outside of time. God is everlasting within time, but has not beginning and no end. Eternal means ‘endless duration’ not outside time. God moves through time with his creation, but changes with it and is affected by it ( process theology )

BACKGROUND For Greek philosophy, the fundamental contrast is between a timeless eternity and the transitory world, involving time and change. Classic example, God must be changeless, because if he changes, he must become more perfect. Or if he was perfect to start with then it means that he must become less perfect. If God is perfect (always) then God cannot change. The presupposition here is that perfection is static and unchanging. So, God is outside of time, in a changeless eternity. Therefore, God is immutable. So, God acts on us, but we cannot affect or change him. It’s a one- way relationship, rather than a two-way relationship. God also knows the future timelessly – foreknowledge How is this different to saying that God is like a prophetic robot? I’ve seen the future!!!

A HEAVY DISCUSSION – IS GOD TEMPORAL OR TIMELESS? ndscreen&v=VbirUdSnZLU “God is timeless without creation, and he is temporal since the moment of creation.” Key word: Temporal = Means to be able to interact with the physical world, with it’s limitations of time and space

PLENARY – A FULL REPORT! Write a speech giving a full report of the view that God is timeless, or everlasting. Try to give some evaluation in your report.
