I was coming from a different understanding of God, one that sees God as a unified, all-encompassing Consciousness that is still evolving and growing through its interactions with the universe and all beings within it.

In my view God is not a static, unchanging entity that exists outside of time, but rather a dynamic, unfolding process that is intimately connected with the evolution of the universe and all of existence. God is not complete in the sense that it has already reached a fixed state, but rather it is continually becoming, unfolding, and evolving through its interactions with the world.

I'm not saying that your view is incorrect, but rather that there are different ways of understanding God, and mine is one that sees God as an integral part of the universe, rather than a separate, transcendent entity that exists outside of it.

Regarding "time", I would just say that time is a human construct, a way of making sense of our experiences and the world around us. If we see God as the unified Consciousness that underlies all of existence, then it's possible that time is not something that God created, but rather a tool that we use to navigate and understand the world.

Panentheism meets Process Theology.

I regard these views as serious heresies. Any dedicated adherents risk apostacy.

I strongly recommend studying reformed theology for a more coherent, systemically verified view of God.

Sauce:

- Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 2 (“Of God, and of the Holy Trinity”)

- Belgic Confession, Article 1

- Canons of Dort, Head 1 (on divine predestination and immutability)

- Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 9–10

Re: "I'm not saying your view is incorrect, but rather that there are different ways of understanding God."

In order for your view to be correct, the Biblical view nostr:nprofile1qqsr26r4lltjnvrwadxp67ns58m4qpzaqemhf5sup7hlujhjh7t296qppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshspq5nhe is espousing would necessarily have to be incorrect.

God cannot both be a perfect, complete, transcendent being who is outside and independant of His Creation and simultaneously be an incomplete, dynamic, unfolding process that is dependent on Creation.

This is an either/or, not a both/and theological assertion. Either your view of God is correct, or Laser's view is correct. Even if you believe that there are different ways of understanding God, you will necessarily hit limitations in just how many are coherent before you run into irreconcilable contradictions of belief and possibility.

Theology is *hard* to do and worthwhile.
