God being able to perceive of experience everything simultaneously, if that really does in fact happen in the first place, is not the same as events which happen within time happening continually and concurrently outside of this space/time.

If that were the case, then every murder, every rape, every lie, would also be happening concurrently outside of time, to be experienced in the same way as Christ’s dying.

Besides, it’s not His DYING that saves us and sets us free, it’s His death and resurrection. So if Jesus is forever dying, then He hasn’t risen and can’t save because death hasn’t been defeated.

We view it this way but God knows it all in one NOW

This is all one NOW with GOD -The Death and Resurrection and Heaven,etc.. is all one eternal NOW with God.

I gave it the "ole college try" to help you understand,for some reason you can't seem to grasp what outside of time and eternal is

I wish you a Blessed evening!
