Eternal being with temporal actions?

I keep hearing some form of the Kalam cosmological proposing god as an answer to the problem of infinite regress. But, if you follow the abrahamic lore...good performs actions that require time. It creates the universe, meaning there was a god before and after it did so. It sends it's son, who is itself, for a blood sacrifice to itself to forgive it's creations for behaving how it programed them. Therefore there is a good before and after that even... extra.

So, bow can you claim this being is timeless yet also claim it performs temporal actions? It's asserted so strongly by monotheistic apologists, but never justified. Even from within their own lore

Who cares?
I don't believe in it anyway, and it's just a poor copy of the Sumerian texts, written in stone 2000 years before the Bible was written.
