Time

So I was in Theology class today and we stared talking about the idea of time and the Triune God's relationship to such a dimension. Karl Barth had an interesting quote concerning this. It goes something like God experiences the beginning middle and end simultaneously. Confusing right? Well maybe not so much after you give it some thought. You see in my understanding of time most of the time I see an occurrence as a point on a line. At most this understanding is two dimensional at best. The point has a beginning and end. End of story right? No because time has depth too. Instead of saying that a given occurrence happened at a point in time it may be best to understand it as happening in a sphere of time. With a sphere you add the "now" that is experienced. You give the beginning and end definition because without a "now" there is no end nor beginning. From what I've read some cultures understand time as a more circular construct rather than a line. So maybe what I want you to leave with here would be a rethinking of what the dimensions of time look like for you. Along with that I hope you come back, because I think I'll be hashing this out some more.
