Everlasting does not imply timeless. In fact, the Hebrew mind in that
day would not be able to comprehend timelessness. "Everlasting" simply
refers to the immortality of God.

I agree.

I agree that God spoke our universe and the time that we experience
into existance. I am a young earth creationist. However, timelessness
includes the concept that God sees all the past and future as a present
moment. This is in conflict with the incarnation and the death of
Christ.
Apparantly you don't fully grasp the doctrine and meaning of
"timelessnes" as opposed to God being "everlasting".
You are incorrect in assuming that I think we will become like God. We
will not. We were created as humans, and that is what we will be for
eternity.
