and cannot be responsible for its creation without paradox. If God DOES any activity (like waiting for a few thousand years, destroying the world, and resurrecting people for their judgment), the he is subject to time and cannot be responsible for its creation without paradox.
Time is just a relation between two events
So when you said "Waiting for few ...." it has no meaning as if God exists alone there is no time as nothing is happening external to god
If he gives messages to Moses (or anyone else), then there are two states: the God which has already delivered his message, and the God which has not. Therefore, God is subject to change, and being different at different times, cannot therefore be wholly complete or perfect.
God is not God.
