“Nothing of his life is past, and nothing of it is future. God possesses his life “all at once.” Boethius’s famous definition of eternity captures this idea. “Eternity, then, is the whole, simultaneous and perfect possession of boundless life.”

Those who think that God is in some way temporal do not want to attribute weakness or inadequacy to God. Nor do they hold that God’s life is less than maximally full. They will deny, rather, that God cannot experience a maximally full life if he is temporal.”
