If God has ALWAYS been timeless, and has ALWAYS performed outside of time and sometimes inside of time, then it is no contradiction of His immutability for Him to act outside of time now.

It would simply mean that one characteristic of God that has not changed (immutable) is His acting outside of time.

Therefore, it is a true statement: "I am the Lord; I change not."

If God could have created the world differently (which He could have), then the world He did create is exactly as He wants it to be. Since this world is not through yet, then the eternal God could, because He is eternal/timeless, go back (our perspective) and make something be incorporated in the movie that hadn't yet been there.

Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Act 15:18   Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

Hbr 6:17   Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed [it] by an oath:
