In order to defend this central claim, the paper does not employ any proposition in any religious text as a source of justification; but solely applies to philosophical apparatuses such as conceptual analyses, logical inferences, and the clarification of rational intui- tions. To justify the central claim in question, the paper makes the concepts of time, consciousness, and the stream of consciousness the central topics of the discussion; relies on the distinction between God’s consciousness and Human consciousness; and tries to establish that God’s consciousness does not involve any kind of stream or motion. By means of utilizing such a line of thinking, the paper attempts to build a theoretical framework that allows for us to see how God could have an existence completely free from the construal of time de- fined by motion or change. Keywords: God, time, divine consciousness, human consciousness, stream of consciousness, timelessness, motion, change, eternity.
