Re: God and Time

The assertion that God exists outside (all?) spacetime can certainly be
made, and often is.
But it seem a little glib. An assertion is all that it can be.
Actually the assertion resonates a little with a fairly old argument as
to the nature of Jesus.
Could God make something which is not of himself or his experience in
some way?
That is not to say that he is constrained in any way to our particular
spacetime.
But it does ask whether he could/would create something which is totally
other than something of his own being or experience.
