>>The Lamb Who IS Slain From Before the Foundation of the World offers Himself in sacrifice both within and outside of time<<

If you believe the "outside of time" meme then you can not believe in free will either. Scripture says those who are written in the book of life were there before the creation of the world.

So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."

God is indeed outside of time and space.

Now, He knows how we will choose - whether we will follow Him or fall away from Him. But unless we make our choices then there is nothing - no act of faith or act of defiance or neglect - for God to see.

We are not predestined to be damned or saved - we have a choice. God does indeed see our choices - but only because we get to make them.
