Can God time travel (ritual, experience, spiritual, divine, divination)

[angelfire999]

I would be interested in your views.

well if G-d is infinite then the restraints of space and time shouldn't matter...
of course then you get into the whole thing w/ the space-continueum, alternate dimensions and all the rest...it can be pretty heavy

Essentially this means that God is everywhere all at once and at every moment all at once. I guess God wouldnt experience time the way we do..

Of course thats all hypothetical..

Well if you view time as the fourth dimension and the Divine is throughout the other three...then why not throughout the fourth?

Since God is not limited by human constraints, I don't see why not. I like Tawn's explanation and frubals to him.

If God is omnipotent then yes he can time travel.

I would prefer it if neither were the case though to be honest.

I am wary about defining time as the fourth dimension because, whilst it is the case, it makes people wish to liken it to the other 3. The first 3 are spacial dimensions and, as such, share similar properties. Time is not and so viewing it as "just another dimension" is an error which comes about through the terminology used rather than from any scientific fact.

Now whether this difference is due to human perception, and therefore arbitary, or due to something more fundamental is a little harder to discern.

Essentially, because this thread is about time travel and not the fourth dimension, I think that it is totally possible for god to travel through time but this would prevent us from having free will. I do not think the two things can coexist.

Im not sure. I feel there would be no reason to time travel. A minor alteration in the past could dramatically change the present, but if time travel is possible, then the alteration of the past has already happened, and nothing really is changed. Also, a change in the future could change the present when it gets to that future time.
I know its possible to use Reiki on someone in the future, although the Reiki is being used in the present. So it could be possible to time travel on the spiritual plane, but nothing could be changed unless you have become very powerful in astral magick. But I feel if someone tried to change the past, the gods would make sure something goes wrong so the past isn't changed.
The future isn't concrete, so I doubt it would be possible to see anything more than a cloudy image of the future. Many divination books will point out that divination is not a definate answer, but only a glimpse at the future. And what Tarot cards show will only occur if the same course of action is pursued.
I do feel strongly that man will never be able to time travel on the physical plane like some movies portray time travel.

This is an intersting question though.

wouldn't this be logically impossible?

I agree. If God's powers are all that people say it is he'd know what would happen in the future if a certain event was allowed to pass, so he'd change it in the present already so that he wouldn't have to do it later. So, in essance, he does...

This makes my head hurt...
