Let’s start with the Tetragrammaton. God’s name is the past, present, and future conjugations of the verb “to be.” It is impossible to be is and was and is to come at the same time, but with God all things are possible.

I don’t think I’m a platonist but we’re awash in that ethos here in the states and imagine there are pockets of it still remaining. I try to take a first century Jewish perspective to philosophy and may succeed at times.

I don’t claim SME status on time. I’ve thought about it quite a bit which doesn’t make me an authority but does put me in a good place to discuss what I think about it. Time started at the beginning when God created therefore God created time.

I would point out that scripture never says something, in the strictest sense. It is words that we interpret. Just like “open theism” never appears in scripture nor the statement that God doing something new means the future is unsettled. That does not invalidate your argument but it is how you interpret the implications of what you read in scripture. This is often a kind of argument used to create distance between the reader and the Bible; to take the pinch out of Biblical instruction. For me it is a mindset to try to be aware of what I bring to the scriptures.

I think my argument probably is “all is known (to God) but not all is determined.”

I believe God must exist inside and outside time.

I’m happy to hit any points I missed.
