No.
The problem with infinite time is that there is either an undefined quantity at the beginning or at the end of "the series" in which you try to contain it, making it "not a series."
Infinity is not the opposite of time. That would indeed be a paradox, for infinity would have to stop when time begins and then start again when time ends. If infinity has to stop and start then it's not infinite. But then if infinity doesn't have to stop and start then there needn't be a time when matter and energy did not exist and interact to create measurable changes that we call time.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
