Time... it's on my side

Ok... I wasn't' going to write about this quite yet, but I can't stop thinking about it. I was just visiting my friend's blog - the undercover-nerd - and she has written about her theory of what Time is. Is it a line? Is it a circle? Is it a combination - a kind of looping/corkscrew line?
I'm inclining more and more to the idea that Time doesn't really exist. That what we perceive as Time is more like an infinite number of linked "Now's". This theory helps me understand a lot of the New Testament language - especially, Paul's writings which place us in Heaven, in a past tense. He doesn't refer to our heavenly existence as a future event, but says we have been raised w. Christ, seated in heavenly places.

I guess the way I picture it, is that "Time" as we perceive it is linear; however, we're not actually on the time line. We have a "God perspective". We know that God "sees the end from the beginning" - that is, He knows how a certain 'event' is going to turn out, even before it starts. It's like He has the "Line of Time" set out before Him on a table - picture a meter stick... He can see the beginning of the stick and the end at the same time - 1 cm (or 0) is when an event begins and 100 cm is the end; except this 'event' is Time.
Each cm is in itself a separate mark, and co-exists at the same time as every other mark on that meter stick. However, if you shrunk yourself down and stood on the 20 cm mark and started walking toward the end, it would take "Time" to reach 100 cm, even tho it already exists as you stand at 20 cm.

But, it's all about perspective. That's what Faith is about. Christians believe in God and who Jesus is, even though we've never seen or met Him. In the letter written to the Hebrews, the author says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of that which is not yet seen." The way I understand that teaching is that Faith is taking hold of the spiritual reality before it becomes physically manifested.
So, to apply Faith to the "no Time" theory, I believe that Time doesn't exist (ie. the 'spiritual reality'), even though in a physical sense it does, in fact, seem to exist.
It's like Paul's teaching (which, BTW, Peter says is quite hard to understand - especially w. the understanding of Natural Science 2000 yrs ago). The spiritual reality is that we are seated in Heaven (by Faith), but the physical perception is that we're stuck here on the earth.

I know, this could probably use more and deeper explanation, but I need another shot of coffee to get those neurons firing a bit faster. Maybe I'll write more later...
