No, He has told us truth about Himself -- and because He has told us truth about Himself -- that He is the infinite-personal, triune God -- we have the answer to existence.

More time to LOVE and play and pray. |

I retired this past August, and now for the life of me don't know when I had time to hold a regular job.
One thing for sure, time doesn't wait upon no one.
An old Saying:
"Our Lord is never late, nor is He early, He is always on time."
Cherish each moment as if it were your last.
Blessings
Ken

That is like what Gandolf said on LotR.
Also to try and answer the original question, What is time?
Time it self exists but without any fixed measurement. It is just there. The measurement of time is a fabrication of the mind. If man was to change how time was measured it would make no difference. I am not sure there is anything more to say about it. So basically time exists without any true existance.

Time is simply ___________. We don't know.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | time is concomitant with motion. Man derived the concept initially from the regular cyclical process of the seasons; heavenly bodies, et al and since the early civilizations, which were based on the seasonal regularity of agriculture, mankind has structured and harnessed life and livlihood, to the 'tyrrany of the clock. Come to think of it, there was no clock nailed to a tree in the Garden of Eden. I imagine (though of course I stick to scripture for all truth) that the realm of God is an Nth dimensional hyperspace where past present and future as we perceive, are folded into one and the same.

Reps: 13 (power: 0) | | | Perhaps I cannot tell you what time is, but I can tell you what time it is. It is high time that Christians had a place like this to explore a deeper fellowship with God and with one another and to focus on Jesus and what He has called us to do.
There is a fellowship forum where people congregate to "fellowship" in the sense communication, but that is not the intimate communion found among the saints, that they have with one another through the power of the Holy Spirit and with thier Saviour. That kind of fellowship is very close and limited to the children of the Living God!
Yes, it is time we tasted and enjoyed that fellowship, and the deeper things of God! Glory to God!
