God stands outside time and can view it from that perspective.

That gives Him the ability to foresee, from our perspective, what is going to happen.

However, that does not mean that He determines it or orchestrates it. It does not turn Him into a master puppeteer, making Him responsible for what happens.

If God is not omnipotent, then He is not and cannot be in complete control of everything. That means that there is something outside of God at work which robs Him of His Godhood.

Human logic has it’s place, but it is not a tool for knowing God, or evaluating Him.

(For God, ALL places, ALL times are “here and now”. We must wait for things to happen. For God, they simply exist.)

In that case, I can’t imagine the boredom God is experiencing. That means he has all knowledge but NO power.

(Frankly, human language is inadequate to express the “God’s Eye” view.)

Well then, how can you presume to attempt it as you just did in your post?
