Is there is a difference between God Absolute and God the creator? (tradition, followers)

Therefore could eternity be understood as an abstraction from the atemporal? By then delimiting eternity/endless duration to a period of specific duration, it is now further divisible into discrete time period/instants.

Doesn't this: "By then delimiting eternity/endless duration to a period of specific duration..." sound like a contradiction to you? If X is defined as endless duration and one then applies the notion of a specific duration then either there is a contradiction or one is no longer discussing the same X.

If one wants to conceive of an eternity that allows for time there must be an element that endures throughout any change. This enduring element would constitute the eternal.
