I often wrestle this in my head that God is both in the moment with us, and outside the moment.
That I only am finite - I had a beginning, I live in the now
God is infinite - has no beginning and lives outside of time
God also interacts with the finite - God by His Holy Spirit strives with men, woos and changes them to the image that already occupies the infinite
That somehow it's God, but it's me - not I but Christ who lives in me.... I still don't totally get it
We say free will in the sense of the Finite
Or believe that God expounds His love like we finite people do, or a false greek/roman cupid love, or think that because we don't think it's loving, God can't do that.
I think many believe it, they would never say it of course, that God needs them, that God created the heavens and the earth for them, that God exists for their happiness. That if it wasn't for man, God would not exist ... is this not humanism?
