If God as an entity does not rely directly upon matter and matter is directly affected by time, is God timeless as well?
And if God is timeless then how it comes that the ideals and morals he imposes upon us change as time changes?
Were, I dare to say it, the Gnostics right?
Bump
I wouldn't necessarily say that ideals and morals change with time, but rather societies change as well as its people.
>If God as an entity does not rely directly upon matter and matter is directly affected by time, is God timeless as well?
Yes. As the prime mover his existince is antecedent to even the concept of time.
>And if God is timeless then how it comes that the ideals and morals he imposes upon us change as time changes?
Who said that they change? There's certainly much to be said for this in regards to the two covenants, but what exactly do you mean by your statement?
>but what exactly do you mean by your statement?
The Ethics shown in the New Testament and the Old Testament are quite different.
And while I am deist (I don't believe in the holiness of the bible), deistic reason changes too.

God makes the rules, and that’s it. He decides what is possible, not what happens.
I know you won’t believe me, but I once caught Kierkegaard selling crack outside Bella Hadid’s house.
Learning from mistakes is very good.
No. God is not timeless; he condescends to participate in time as seen in the person Christ Jesus.
>And if God is timeless then how it comes that the ideals and morals he imposes upon us change as time changes?
Think of the whole form of morality, not just the limited perception we (as a species) can attain. Compare God to that abstraction moreso than any particular human standard.
God is outside of time and space but the laws he imposed on us are given based on the time we in. However, the caveat is that some laws are binding and never will change like a God is one. But more smaller rulings will differ. This is the Islamic view which is the fastest growing religion, and is also believed to be the final law and rules that follow many other rules and covenants until day of judgment.

You failed me Kierkegaard.
they don't change, the people change, and in turn, meddle with them
I'm not exactly sure what a timeless entity looks like or does and I don't think it's generally possible that we will ever find out. However, Occam's razor is probably best in this scenario. God's laws as dictated from the area and time period surrounding the manuscript as a whole always seem to reflect the population's culture, as if they knew what was best themselves for whatever their current situation might be and it's future.
Or God knew what was best for them.
How would you tell the difference?
We can agree that God has no beginning, yes?
Isn't it an oxymoron to say that a temporal being is past eternal?

Faith is a beautiful thing, it’s the mother of hope, and nurturer of peace in absolution. Tell me what can really hurt a man with faith in God? A bullet brings him closer to his creator, a scar is a reminder of the time he was blessed enough to survive the blade, and an insult means nothing to a man without proud. Tell me a philosophy more perfect than belief in the moral absolution of God?
