Book 4, Chapter 3 Time and Beyon

C.S. Lewis addresses some common and complex questions about God's omnipresence. He explains that God does not exist within time as we do.Instead, Lewis argues that God does not live within a time-series at all, using the analogy of a straight line representing our time and a page on which full of lines to represent God's perspective. He also tackles the question: "If God knows I am going to do something, how can I be free to do otherwise?"He explains that what we perceive as tomorrow is visible to God in the same way we perceive today. 本章，C.S. Lewis探讨了关于上帝“无所不在”的一些常见且复杂的问题。他解释说，上帝并不像我们那样存在于时间之中。相反，上帝根本不生活在时间的序列（过去，现在和未来这样的线性序列）中。他使用了一条直线代表我们所处的时间，而上帝的视角则像一张画满了线的纸张。

他还探讨了这样一个问题：“如果上帝知道我要做某事，我怎么还能自由地做出不同的选择？”他解释道，我们所感知的明天对上帝来说是可见的，就像我们感知今天一样。

I found Lewis's explanations in this chapter particularly helpful, as they skillfully respond to frequently asked questions. I am absorbing these ideas eagerly, like a sponge soaking up water.我发现Lewis在本章中的解释对我特别有帮助，因为它巧妙地回应了常见的困难问题。
