Thanks, dear friend.
How does someone explain that Elijah was saved and sent to heaven and listed in Scripture as coming before the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ in our concept of time while knowing that Christ’s Sacrifice is what saves us?
The only answer is that God is outside of time and Christ is God

And, as you point out, inside time would also - by definition - mean finite.
As theology goes, this is elementary...

The only answer is that God is outside of time and Christ is God Then by that reasoning, God is always dying and always dead.
