God's Eternity

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of God's eternity and its implications on the nature of time and change.

What does it mean to say that God is eternal? Is God simply everlasting—or does He exist beyond time altogether? In this episode, Anthony Alberino explores the classical doctrine of divine eternity, drawing on Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and Boethius. You’ll learn why time is the measure of change, why all changeable beings exist in time, and why a changeless God must be timeless. We also clear up common misconceptions—God’s eternity is not a “frozen now,” but the fullness of life possessed all at once.
