(First of all, none of this concerns the past really, it happened already and God can remember it all, no problem. This concerns future events)
If God is time-bound, how can he know the future without just being either, a determinist, or a super good guesser that sometimes gets things wrong? (Diz, above)
1. Scripture absolutely declares that we have freewill.
2. And scripture declares that God can predict the future.
So what do we believe? We believe BOTH.
We believe that God can predict our freewill choices:
1. God can intervene: and God certainly does.
2. He can resist intervening: God declares He does.
How does God predict our choices? We can only theorize, but neither of these two premises above are illogical, nor opposed (predicting freewill choices). God is simply fantastically able and knowing. Aside from God's amazing wisdom (which I would stay with myself) some people come up with theories that are hard to imagine, and some that are imaginative, but we should stay within a logical realm, and within reason, since God has revealed Himself, and put us in, a reasonable logical realm.
What steps into absurdities - is suggesting that the future actually happened (that makes the word future ambiguous, if not meaningless). You are now saying God only
sees them (as in a vision, or in His mind). Then I would agree, this is an abstract future, and it is what I am saying: God predicts what He wants to do, or more correctly KNOWS what He will do, and He will bring it to pass. There is no future selves that have done or participated in any real event outside of time or in the present now.
