How do you think God relates to time? Timeless (outside of time) or Temporal (in time).
P.S. [Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2090%3A4%2C2%20Peter%203%3A8&version=NIV) does not answer this question as it can apply to either answer.
He lives outside of time. Isaiah 46:9/10. He sees the end and the beginning and everything in between all at once. To prove it – he told the prophets what would happen in the future, for us to look back in time and verify that only God could have known. To be able to do this – he must be outside of time.
He also created time.
The one who created time couldn’t exist within time, he has to be outside of it.
I don’t think the phrase “outside of time” makes any sense.
If there God is “outside of time”, then there is no ‘moment’ in which he could create something, since creation itself is a temporal process.
There is no scope for change in a timeless environment which makes the concept incoherent.
He made it and can be inside time as when he lived a life on Earth as the Messiah or outside time as he now sits at the right hand side of God the Father Interceding for The Saints (Those saved by his sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection).
God relates to his creation. All of it, even time, space and matter
A day is as a thousand years and A Thousand Years is as a day.
Relates? As its creator.
He can act in time and outside of time since He is infinite.
Time is a physical property of the universe .God is outside of His creation.
God created time, space and matter. God has no beginning nor end and therefore exists outside of the confines of time.
If you believe God created the heavens and the earth as it says in Genesis 1, then you have to believe he’s outside of time, because he created time along with the universe.
