Does God know what decisions he will make in the future, and how he will decide?

Yup. In fact he has already made all of the decisions ever.
In three years he will stub his toe on the rock he created that he can't lift.

Many on this forum talk about time being merely a dimension of the universe , nothing more or less than that. Maybe time is is just something that exists in our universe. Who knows what dimensions also exist in life.

Although I consider the proposition that any being could act outside of time to be meaningless.
Originally posted by knightmeisterPerhaps because our whole language is structured around time any description of God therefore becomes meaningless. For example, the gerund "being" denotes the present-participal of "to be"; to say God is a "Being" is to attribute a sense of time (that God is being); therefore, the very act of being linguistically necessitates time. God cannot be outside of time, because to be involves time.

It's only because we live in time (causal sequenced events) that we find the whole thing so hard to imagine.
