[Eng] Why God Cannot Be Timeless — and Does He Have Emotions? (Dr. Ryan Mullins) |🎙R+F Podcast

“The End of the Timeless God” — that’s the title of a book by philosopher and theologian Ryan Mullins, one of today’s leading scholars on the nature of time. Recently, he published another work continuing this grand discussion. In this podcast, we talk with him about how he came to the conclusion that time is one of God’s attributes. But that’s not all! We’ll also discuss: • Why did God decide to create this world if He needs nothing? • What was God doing before creation? • Does God have emotions? • How do divine foreknowledge and predestination work? This episode is packed with fascinating ideas! Join us if you’re interested in deep reflections on the nature of God, time, and reality. 👤 PODCAST GUEST R.T.
