No simple, concise bullets, hmm. I'm a bullet person, not the deep intellectual type.

The initial time was when my Bible study teacher was explaining that Christianity is 'all of life' (my wording) and there really is no such thing as Christian music, etc. Everything is done for the glory of God. Those who separated the sacred from secular in conceptualizing their Christianaity are using platonic reasoning.

The 2nd time related to when things came into existence. I might be wrong in my understanding of what is being said. I took it as the difference between God thinking it - it happens as opposed to God thinking it and it will happened some time in the future. Its a philosophical question in nature, and I guess it deals when 'something becomes real'. The overriding topic was in regards to the 'corridor of time' argument. One person accused the person thinking it will happen sometime in the future christian-esque platonism in his thinking.

Sorry, if this is even more confusing.
