How do you think God measures time?

My belief is that our whole lifetimes are like only a minute or two to him.\n\nTherefore, we don't have to sweat it.  The "higher power" knows we couldn't have possibly done much better than we did considering how much time we had, and considering that we are only human.\n\nIn the words of John Lennon, "Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about."\n\nI don't think that means literally that nothing is real, but love is all that really matters, to the higher power or anyone else.  \n\nThat is the way I would put it, I don't claim to know all of his beliefs.

Ya Time is just a measure of change... If there is change then you can say that there is time... No-time isn't a "theory" it's an idea, a thought game.

Oh good grief.  Physics 101.  Time is a function of the physical universe.  One of the four dimensions we easily observe.  It has no existance outside the boundaries of creation.  God did not exist "before" creation.  He exists beyond it.  The Creator is not bounded by his creation.  There was no "before" creation, as time itself is a function of that creation.  Nor will there be an "after" for the same reason.  The fact that we cannot comprehend an existance outside of time doesn't limit God.  It limits us.

when u r measuring time from a given inertial time frame every time-frames are relative to it.Standing at that reference frame u can only calculate the precision of individual events but not the absoluteness of the time-frame itself.\n    U don't need to think about the absoluteness ofcourse to describe any property of universe. U do it relative to u.

I am a children's pastor. You can't answer it with out understanding it yourself. God answered it. He is the only uncreated thing. He said, "I am". It is His name and the answer to your 6 year old's question. He even created Time itself for us. Read Genesis 1. Time is just the multiplication and division of days. He is outside of that and past present and future are for humans until we join Him and become also immortal. Kids love it when you talk right to them. Always stretch them. They will respect you for it. Say "I don't know...what do you think?" - alot. You'll learn some great things. My 4 are grown and some of the best friends I could have.

No, but there's a guy in Tijuana that can tell time by lifting up his donkey's balls.  He's pretty accurate too!  I had my watch stolen while I was down there and I saw a Mexican guy sitting on the curb next to his donkey.  I asked, "Excuse me senior, do you know what time it is?"  He reached over, grabbed his donkey's balls, lifted them up a few inches and stated, "It's 2:47!"\nI said, "Wow, that's amazing!" and he said, "Not really, you can do it too!"  He moved over and had me sit on the curb where he had been, right behind the donkey.  He said, "Now reach over and lift my donkey's balls about 6 inches."  I did as he said, then he pointed between the donkey's legs and said, "Now, see that clock on that wall over there?"

look are religion does not worship death, we worship god, godhead three in one, father, spirit, son. think about this logically, god made tI'me for us to use, do you honestly believe god has a time, if you live life for eternity, what would time mean? this lifetime that you choose to live freely, is a blimp to god "time wise" death is only the beginning definitely not the end. so choose it wisely because one day you will stand before god and confess your sins, and tell him why you chose to do so. \nim not trying to criticize anything I'm just trying to help sorry if i offended you in any way, i apologize

When God created the universe he created both time and space. Even einstein proved that when the universe 'came into being' that time and space appeared at the smae time. Therefore God cannot be measuerd by time or space since he is outside of them both. Thus he has no beginning or end and he has no physical size since he is outside our physical ability to measure. Being the creator though, means that he can also enter into the creation when he wants to (as in the form of Jesus). In the same way that an architect is not part of the house that he has designed or built but is still able to enter it.

For contemporary Neo-Pagans, we "measure" time the same way as others--with standard chronometric terms.\n\nBut, as I think you mean, how do we describe and how do we conceptualize time--that's a different subject.\n\nHow Pagans describe time:\nWe describe years using, much as many non-Christians in the West do, the CE/BCE designations for years.  This is not 2006 Anno Domini (Our Lord)--for the Christian figure Jesus is not our Lord.  For us, as for Jews, it is the year 2006 Common Era, and similarly Hesiod wrote in the 8th century BCE (Before Common Era).  \n\nHow Pagans conceptualize time:\nTime is essentially cyclical, with some linear features.  The same basic processes repeat themselves endlessly in the Universe, but there is also change and a narrative progression (this latter process would be historical change, which we see as real but secondary to cosmological cyclicality).  \n\nThe most important units of cyclical time:\n(1)  The Wheel of the Year: too complex to discuss at this length, the Wheel of the Year is the basic time motif of Pagan thought.  It is the procession of the seasons, the lunar and solar year, and the eight Wiccan waypoints along the year.\n(2)  The Ages of the Person:  human life-cycles are also part of the unfolding of time.  Most Neo-Pagan traditions use the life-cycle of the human individual to talk about our individual lives in the larger flow of time.\n(3)  The Lunar Cycle:  The 28-day lunar cycle is, like the solar year, one of the two pillars of the Pagan liturgical calendar.  It maps the principle of cyclical flow, the hidden and mysterious qualities of Being.\n(4)  The Day:  Like the Year and the Ages of the Person, each Day corresponds to the Wiccan  magical circle (East/South/West/North), traveling from Dawn to Noon to Twilight to Midnight and back to Dawn.  The solar Day, the lunar Month, and the lunar-solar conjoined Year together with the individualized Life-Cycle describe our interdependent relationship with the Earth and Heavens around us, our inextricable place in the Great Web of Being.\n\nThere is much, much more to be said about this.  But Yahooo Answers lends itself to the terse version.

The concept of time is a fabrication of the human mind. The concept of creation is thought of in time values because that's how our brains are wired to perceive events. God and the concept of creation can't be rationalized by these standards. Open your mind to consider that everything has always been. Once again, a time oriented concept.

I don't really know which was first, but I would have to guess dinosaurs.  Remember, that one of God's weeks is probably not a week to us.  There are some rules on time in the Bible, and in one scripture (can't remember where it is in the Bible), one day for God is a thousand years for us.

Hi. The first three are physical, the fourth is temporal, the rest are mathematical. We think of the fourth as time, but it really is not. Time, when you get down to it, is an infinite series of 'moments', not to be confused with seconds, years, picoseconds, etc. Humans tend to measure the passing of time in rather coarse terms. If you could see time then objects would be stretched out. A human, for instance, would look like a very long worm tapering from very small (an egg) to adult size to bones, which would last the longest.

God dwells in eternity, we dwell in the restraints of physical time. We do not understand that concept. It's like a the earth asking if space exists. I'm sure if the earth could talk, it would have a very hard time understanding its vastness and how it is placed in the midst.

its same like who created God. If God was created, then who created then one "who created God"?? and so on and so on................... NOW THERE HAS TO BE STOP SOMEWHERE, OTHERWISE WE WOULD NOT BE HERE. BUT WE ARE HERE, THAT MEANS GOD IS UNCREATED. where the stop is, we muslims call that being as "God almighty" who is eternal, no beginning no end.\n\n"Say: He is God, The One and Only. "God, the Eternal, Absolute."He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." [Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]\n\n..regarding time>> time is a creation of God, which is relative. only God is absolute. time has a beginning, God has no begginning, and God does not exist in SPACE TIME dimension.. but unfortunately our Christian brothers says so that God came in space - time dimension in the form of Jesus peace be upon him. .. see what the scientists says>>>\n\n\n"... if there were a complete set of laws, that would infringe God's freedom to change his mind and intervene in the world. It's a bit like the old paradox: Can God make a stone so heavy that he can't lift it? But the idea that God might want to change his mind is an example of the fallacy, pointed out by St. Augustine, of imagining God as a being existing in time: time is a property only of the universe that God created. Presumably, he knew what he intended when he set it up! " [Page 176, "A brief history of Time" by Stephen Hawkings]\n\nThats what islam believes that God does not exist in time dimension , He is beyond the time dimension. \n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS, AND I INVITE YOU TO THIS GOD. WHO IS PERFECT AND ABSOLUTE, AND ETERNAL . \n\npeace be on you

According to the Bible, no one knows the day or hour of the end of times.  There are too many things that have to take place before the end comes.  At some point, we may be able to predict it, but God's timetable is His and He will do it in His time, when it is the most appropriate.  Anyone who tries to tell you when the end of times will come, will be proven wrong.   There have been many churches, like the Jehovah Witnesses, who have predicted it over and over and were all wrong.  People have been predicting it since the Apostles were around and we are still here.
