Q. - Shouldn't anyone who feels that I've erred grievously in my "definition" agree that the OP erred in hers?

"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." ~ Matthew 18:3
Yes. If even a devout Catholic can (in a politely roundabout way) regard allegories with suspicion, should it surprise...
Technically, God is alleged to exist outside of time. So God was never "in date" to begin with.
"God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" ~ Numbers 23:19
