A good way of thinking about God time is related to Zeno's paradoxes of motion. Briefly, this states that nothing can move because every distance has an infinite amount of subdistances - it being able to be proved that there is no smallest distance. One very emminant Oxford philosopher put forward the idea that if you do several of the subdistances at once, then it is possible. There's loads more to do with whether the finite can encompass the infinite - which I can prove is possible - but the upshot is that if you imagine GOd time as an infinite amount of events, all of which happen concurrently, then that is, IMO, what god time was. Cause & effect are contemperaneous.
