Eleonore Stump and Norman Kretzmann's ET-simultaneity relation, designed to bridge this gap, has been shown by critics like Paul Fitzgerald to be non-transitive and thus not a genuine equivalence relation.

ET-simultaneity(as the main concept being evaluated): A technical concept (standing for 'eternal-temporal simultaneity') that attempts to explain how God, who exists outside of time, can be simultaneous with events that happen in time.
Eleonore Stump(as a philosopher developing the ET-simultaneity relation): A contemporary American philosopher who specializes in medieval philosophy, logic, and philosophy of religion, and who works on problems about time and God's knowledge.
Equivalence relation(One of the three conditions in the inconsistent triad): A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive; identity relations are standardly taken to be equivalence relations.
Non-transitive(describing how similarities work in family resemblance): A logical property where if A is related to B, and B is related to C, it doesn't automatically mean A is related to C; for example, 'is a friend of' is non-transitive because your friend's friend isn't necessarily your friend.
