does someone has a correct definition of time?

Allyn's simple definition.

Time is the passing of one thought to the next.

If this is true then it only means that time did exist before the creation because God has a "thought"

I was trying to be sly about that fact, but you caught it right away. Yes I believe time did exist before creation. Does this limit God as the eternal Father? No. In fact I believe this actually enhances the glorious eternalness of God for God transcends time and time is an element of God. God can and does exist without time but time cannot exist without God. In some ways time is co-eternal with God but God is the factor that allows time to exist.

The problem is we don't know how time relates to us and God. If God is eternal then there was no "time" when He didn't exist. So then what happends if God thinks back before the creation. Does His mind go blank because there was "nothing" to think about?

In other words, God's timeline of events my be different from ours. There may have been events before the physical creation. Who knows? The revealed creation is about as much as we can comprehend. As Paul said "We know in part".

Paidion, I was wondering how you would interpret this verse:

Hebrews 7:3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God.
