Biblical Concept: The linear aspect of God
God’s Counsel in
eternity past suggests a
linear aspect to God. As with any
volitional being, the process of thinking is linear—humans live in an
approximate three second window of thought, for example. Omniscient but linear might be an important
way to understand God’s Omniscience?
Another way to say it is: The God of the Bible exists in at least 14
different dimensions and
one of the dimensions includes four dimensional linear
reality.
God interacted (a
linear start point) with sinless sentient angelic creation for who knows how long? See Angelic Chronology.
The 6 days of creation display God’s linear
aspect. God enjoyed each step of the
creative process. It was all good: Genesis 1:31 And God
saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was
evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Note God saw good in Genesis
1:4,10,12,18,21, and 25.
Genesis
2:9, And out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow
every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of
life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil.
Genesis 2:15, Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the
garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.
Genesis 2:19, And out of the ground
the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and
brought them to the man to see
what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature,
that was its name.
Genesis 5:22-24 22 Then Enoch walked
with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and
he had other sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were
three hundred and sixty-five years. 24
And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Genesis
6:5-7 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great
on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. 6 And the LORD
was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His
heart. 7 And the LORD said,
"I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from
man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry
that I have made them."
(Instead of a flaw in God’s omniscience / plan / thinking, the linear
reality aspect of God is on display.)
Psalm 37:23b. If “He” is God, then: “He delights in his
way.”
