    Despite the fact that God, by His divine nature, is completely independent of the conditions of time, within theological language both present, past, and future tense verbs are used in reference to God. For example, although as eternal, God has no age, the Holy Scriptures conditionally speak of the Divine years: "Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not end" (Psalm 101:28). When we speak not of God the Trinity, but of the Person of the Son of God who was made man, the expressions concerning the categories of time, usually applied to people who, as we know, depend on the conditions of time, are especially applicable to Him. Thus, the Church teaches that the Son of God was carried in the womb, then born, then grew up, became manly, taught, preached, died on the Cross, after which He rose again, ascended above the heavens, and sat down at the right hand of the Father. Since Christ is one hypostasis, containing two natures, the divine and the human, the names proper to God and the names proper to man are applicable to Him. We may say, Christ is God, and we may say, Christ is Man. We can say: Christ was, is and will be a man, and we can say: the Son of God, God incarnate, was, is and will be a man.
