Yes, but I believe God exists out of time, meaning time in their realm os much diffrerent than ours obviously because in
2 Peter 3:8 it shows the contrast in like or compared to, longer time in heaven for one day to pass. It makes sense to me becauss there are so many people and prayers, I mean all the things too that need to be fulfilled. I think most people believe that God does this all simultaneously, but I’m not so sure about that.
 
If God always was and life is eternal, then time does not exist right?, life still exists from eternity. Where is time?. If something is eternal till eternal.
There will be no more time when we are with Jesus. It will be one day.

This scripture pretty much gives us the best insight on this answer in my opinion

Revelation 21:22-27

22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

We can’t have a day or time without no sun. Since God will be our light and it will never be night. Time will ve no more!
 
But if there is no time in another rhelm the hard fact is time does not exist. In reality time does not exist.

There will be no more time when we are with Jesus. It will be one day.

If God always was and entered creation as Christ who always was there is no time.

God cannot die spiritually.
Huh? No God cannot die,

He is

The Lord of Lords
The King of Kings
He’s the almighty mighty God
Lord of everything

He is Emmanuel
The Great I AM
The Prince of Peace
Who is the Lamb

He is The Living God
He is our saving grace
He will reign forever
He is the Ancient of Days

He is the Alpha, Omega
Beginning and End
He is our savior, messiah,
Redeemer and friend.

My statement that God cannot die spiritually was nothing to do with not reading your post but just putting my argument forward. As you said there will be no more time when we are with Jesus but I am trying to say there is no such thing as time as Jesus always was and always will be.

If God always was and always will be, in reality there is no time.
 
I believe God made time for us .
He gave us time ... He is beyond time...
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Gen_1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
 
If God always was and life is eternal, then time does not exist right?, life still exists from eternity. Where is time?. If something is eternal till eternal.
Creation (including us) exists in time.
God does not.
When Jesus comes again and renews all things, we will be like him (1Jo 3:2) and having eternal life, will no longer experience time.
It will always be right now.

With God in the Spiritual realm of heaven there exist no time, but yet patience and longsuffering will be that of coming to an end when He decides to end it.
 
Creation (including us) exists in time.
God does not.

flesh exist in time by mans standards of a time table, but the Spirit within us has no measure of time.
 
If God always was and life is eternal, then time does not exist right?, life still exists from eternity. Where is time?. If something is eternal till eternal.
Time is the measurement between objects. We measure years, months and days based on objects relative to the earth.

If something has no beginning and has no end, yet exists both inside and outside of time, then what you are left with is simply now. When we speak in terms of God, he is present both inside, and outside of time.

We see this prior to creation within the idea of trinity for the Father, Son and Spirit are one, and have always shared a close unity we call oneness. Because we speak of 3, there is a measurement we can apply, and when we do so, time is also present.

In short, eternity isn't a destination because we are living in eternity.

It's interesting g to note that the Greek word for eternity essentially means "for an age".
