This being Holy Week perhaps it is better to make a distinction more closer to the truth than the difference between time and timekeeping insofar as the latter is founded on the calendar system which apportions the natural 1461 rotations within 4 consecutive orbital circumferences into the familiar format of 365/366 days. It is therefore immediately obvious that a year doesn't equate directly to one orbital circuit even if presently nobody makes this distinction.

As a Christian the distinction between individual life and time is not philosophical but an intrinsic experience where one morphs into the other when appropriate. The difference between an individual life within the life of the Universe can be presented as the passage of time as we participate in all the workings of the Earth,solar system,galaxy or whatever larger scale structures there are or witness the historical trajectory of life on Earth as it developed from simple forms.

Over the last 100 years it became popular to announce that 'clocks measure time' but such a declaration is cheap and unworthy of any individual . We pass through existence and take in the grandeur of it all as best we can insofar as pretense casts no shadow on astronomy nor does it provide any admittance to that noble endeavor. The ground where temporal and Eternal Life meet has always been inside the individual, not as a thought or conviction but as a feeling that is like a fountain in how it lights up information. It is the language of the Johanine gospel which occupies itself less that the other gospels in pointing out the deficiencies of the existing authorities but address the timeless concerns of the individual for what is Timeless is also Eternal.
