RE: So you don’t believe that God knows the future?

The word “future” is only a concept we temporal being use since we are time-bound beings.

God is “eternal” and He see’s things differently from what we mortals see.

I don’t think our concept of past-present-future enables us to understand how He who created time itself knows and understands. I think it’s an almost unbelievable understatement to say God “knows the future,” because He is the Alpha and Omega, He who is. He is outside of our ability to conceptualize in the sense of our understanding.
