    Challenges→In God's eternal life, each time in its presentness remains and nothing ever ceases to be ET-simultaneous with God's life.

    If ET-simultaneity is non-transitive, then past events and future events are both 'present' to God, making all temporal moments co-present to each other, which generates contradiction.

    Key Terms

    Co-present(as describing how the metaphysical principles relate to each other)
    Existing together in the same thing at the same time, without being separated from each other.
    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.
    God's perspective / omniscience(as used in philosophy of religion and theology)
    The philosophical idea that God exists outside of time and can see all past, present, and future events at once, the way you might see an entire landscape from a high mountain.
    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.
