Good question.

I'm_Sorry · Oct 20, 2017

A concept of "now"?

It is night and day at the same "now" (time) too.

Time is merely an element of measurement that God gave humans.

Genesis 1:5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Job 14:5 "Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass."

Daniel 2:21
"It is He who changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding."

Psalm 104:9
"He made the moon to mark the seasons..."

Ecclesiastes 3:3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Time is what is required for change and movement. Without it everything would just remain exactly the same.

Ones say no one has been able to define "time". But God is able to So, what can we say without giving a circular definition?

Time is what you measure with a clock. It is what a clock measures, from one point of time to another point of time. Oh-oh, this is circular!!

Try again lolololololol

Time is what you can not explain in words, but we simply have the word "time" for talking about it. Possibly, time is how long we have been existing while going from one point of our existing to another point. And a clock can measure how long our existing has been, between points of our living and activity. The relative position of the sun and the earth are used to measure how long we have existed between two points of our activity and living . . . and loving, hopefully

And what is important is timing. God has things working in relation to one another. You do not have to measure the relative movement of the sun and earth, in order for there to be God's timing of things. Even while the earth and sun did not exist, God was timing things in relation to one another. He had certain things leading to other things, though measuring of points of existence was not being done using the relative position of the sun and earth, which did not exist.

Time is the product of change.

One could say it was the medium of Change. If Change was a fish, Time would be the water.

I think of time as a measurement of rate of change. This is how clocks work, whether it be a mechanical spring or the rate of change of electrons and atoms.

Time is what Jesus need for us because he thought...I aint letting those jerks loose into eternity...they're time is numbered. Half facetious, half not.

A measurement of what exactly?

Of a period of learning I think. When we finally get to cross over...wont we all appreciate it, just a wee bit more than your average...was created in heaven and never knew sin being?

Very cool avatar Bro. That album is an absolute masterpiece.

A systemized series of sequential events. Immanuel Kant in his famouse Cirtuque of pure Reason, listed the examples of a priori understanding, God, immorality and time.

For us old dudes, lol

Time is one of the dimensions in which we exist. An event in the universe can be indicated by its position in three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. A durable object can be described by the path it makes as it moves through different spatial locations and different time values.

com7fy8 · Oct 20, 2017

the duration of your existence, then . . . all or some part of it, or of an activity or thing, the smallest part of which is an eternitieth of eternity
