Using time allotted well is to our advantage in every way if we are to love our Lord and to glorify him in all that we do. 1 Corinthians 3 urges us all in how we are to use time allotted.

I'm not disagreeing at all but; in eternity if we're living outside of time, do we see the past, present and future? No doubt we're not going to know the answers to my questions until we're in eternity, but it's interesting to talk about creation, the power of God, and our increasing understanding in this age of the miracle of it all and how everything is interrelated. Is this not a stage of eternity? Dennis, if you do not have a copy of "The greatest Book On Dispensational Truth In The World" , originally titled simply "Dispensational Truth" (God's Plan and Purpose in the Ages) by Clarence Larkin you might get one, as it is in print again. I think you might much enjoy having his etchings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time does exist independent of humanity's state of being. There are the mechanics of time the theories of times, and of origins, and of motion, of an expanding universe; BUT it doesn't much matter for God has chosen to communicate to us as He has chosen when He wills to as He wills, for the purposes he chooses. He has spoken in terms of time, and in terms of money, throughout His communication to and with His creation. He has said that if His created human servants his disciples of Jesus do not share of Him and of His sovereignty over all that is, then He will make the very rocks cry out of it. Time is a part of God's creation, that can be used as measurement, as testimony of God's existence, and His very sovereignty. God has given us measure in physical matters and in spiritual ones too. He has given us variables that are precise in measurement as well. He has given us prophecy and times and signs of times and times of signs. All fun stuff to ponder upon, yet fruitless if it is not put to use, doing the common things God wills for us to be doing to His glory. Is the end of our human life in the flesh the end of time for us? I suggest that it is a beginning of yet a new period that will unfold - in time. All absolutely true! In addition, the Lord also gave us the natural instinct (for lack of a better word) to question; who are we, why are we here, where are we going, where are we at and whom exactly am I; the glorious creation of everything that is; a curiosity to seek Him and ask questions. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is interesting; "a God given natural instinct to question Him". I'll have to think on that, starting with "natural"? Or perhaps as result of doubt after the fall of the first Adam? Did Adam know where he was going in his state of innocence, was he brilliant of mind in his assignment to name all things? Did he ask questions when He walked with God? I will have to read and think abit on that one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See http://www.geraldschroeder.com/AgeUniverse.aspx I read some of his material and have his book somewhere here. I used to watch Zola Levitt and him have some very interesting and productive for my own thinking on Zola Levitt presents. Gee I miss those days! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
