Mind Blowing

I had a very interesting religious discussion with a friend tonight. We talked, among other things, about time. There are some pretty mind-blowing aspects of time.  Time is a man-made thing.  Out time frame is exclusive to our planet alone. God does not operate on man's time frame.  I can't even imagine what it would be like to not be limited by time.  We live our lives day by day, minute by minute and second by second.  But what if there were no seconds or minutes or hours or days? There is just eternity.  The past, present and future all melt into one with our Heavenly Father.  That is how He operates.  His time is one continuous circle.  That is how he can listen to all humanity's prayers at one time.  That is how Jesus Christ could atone for all the sins of people living not only in the past but who ever would live on the earth.   My friend mentioned that technically we could pray for our ancestors as if they're still alive.  That makes sense to me.  If God in the past knew that in the future we would pray for our ancestors, he could bless them as if we lived at the same time as our ancestors.   Mind blowing huh?
