The central allegation of paradox seems
to me
to run roughly as follows: a nontemporal divine experience would include in itself all events in time (cf. CSPM 105); but
to experience all temporal events simultaneously would dissolve any real
distinction between past and future (cf. CSPM 66); so there could be no temporal transition, no change, no contingency, and no freedom (cf. CSPM 137); and since
nothing could become, there could be no real permanent and unchanging reality either, «for then the contrast between the terms, and therewith their
meaning, must vanish» (CSPM 166).
