So it makes no sense to say that anything exists "before" or "after" time since that equates to saying "the time before time" or "the time after time". It equates to nonsense.For us as temporal beings, no.

To say that God is outside of time is to say that god was lying when he claimed to be the Alpha and the Omega.
Rot. The bible also quotes God as saying "I am" ...or he 'just is'. God is throughout time, as well as outside time... its perfectly consistent.

Thinking, acting, creating, doing anything requires a before and after. Imagining I am atemporal and looking at the whole of time is impossible as I would need to imagine my non existence as a being, whilst at the same time existing with internal processes enabling me to observe.Problem with all of that.... God isn't a 'being', and is never proposed to be that in our (mainstream Christian') theology.
