Aplogetics: The Theology of Time Travel

#
Romans 5:6 KJV
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 8:18 KJV
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

With Doctor Who and other theological questions, how would you answer the question ? If Time Travel was possible, how would it affect the fundamentals of the Christian Faith?
Could Dr Who affect Paul?

I have been thinking of ways of counteracting this is that as God knows everything, he would know everything anyway!

I like what Frank said. God knows the end from the beginning because He is outside of time itself in the same way that a painter is outside of his own painting. The creator of time cannot be bound by time as it is His creation.

I know it is crude, but I have pictured it this way. If I build a maze from wood and place mice in the maze to try to find their way through, I can see the entirety of the maze from above and can see the twists and turns and the end from the beginning, but the mice can only see the passage they occupy at any one moment. God did not put us in a rat-race maze, but you get the picture I hope.

So I guess when I die I will time travel in this sense. I will step out of time and into the timelessness of the creator's frame of reference. (Sounds a little like general relativity doesn't it).

Not sure I understand the original question, simple as I am, BUT I will say I believe time travel is perhaps possible.

Men will never be able to time travel, that would be one of the bounderies that God would put in place I believe. Only God is the master of time. Time exists for His purpose alone, He created time. Interestingly enough, there is no time outside of the reality that God has created for us. In His place, one day is as a thousand years. He is the same yesterday today and forever.

I agree with what Frank said here.

Not sure I understand the original question,

Giggles, have you ever read "Alley Oops" the comic strip? Or seen "Time Changers"? Both deal with time travel. The theory is when you step out of the current time frame into another era. Make sense? No? Well, it doesn't, but is a fun thing to play around with, apparently, because some people market this in their story line.

I also agree with the brothers who posted their take on this issue.

Hope this helps..
