How thick is Matt Slick?

When God existed timelessly, he also existed changelessly put with omnipotent potential.

How do you know that?

Inductive reasoning. Natural theology. Logically, I am not sure it can be any other way.

But outside of time, how are all these mental qualities (will, knowledge, etc.) enacted in a way that distinguishes a timeless god from a mindless but also timeless entity?

You didn't answer the question.

When you say "mindless" what do you mean?

That is a poetic way of saying you make it up as you go along

That's what I'm trying to get you to answer. What does it mean for God to have a mind outside of time? What makes it different from a "supercomputer" (that possesses all information necessary to solve all problems and run all required tasks) outside of time?

You are equating inaction with mindless. In a timeless state, God would have to be changeless. That is not to say that while in that state he looses all of his other attributes. I think having omnipotent potential to do anything is a pretty big way to distinguish between God and a supercomputer.

So a timeless machine/computer with infinite information necessary to solve all solvable problems and run all tasks is not omniscient/omnipotent while a timeless God is, how? Or are you saying such a computer would be omniscient and omnipotent?

Do you ever watch Ali G indahouse? Once he has asked Buzz Aldrin when man will walk on the sun. When Buzz told him that you can't because its too hot, he replied, well why not during its winter? Your questions sometimes reminds me of Ali G, except you're serious

So a timeless, changeless entity thinks and has the potential to perform action? This is his inductive reasoning?

Christian first, philosopher second. Start with a theology and forcibly drive the conclusion that way.
