Not if outside time means what I think it means.
It is always as from the real beginning because He did institute it at the real beginning.
God can be at any point in time because he is outside time.
Therefore, it has always been from the beginning. We are the ones who try to constrain God within the strictures of time.
It seems that some people are constrained to insist that God does not make any decisions NOW. That all decisions were made BACK THEN.
But what needs to be realized is that if God inhabits eternity, then any decision that God makes NOW, he literally and actually made even before the foundation of the earth, because he is there NOW.
Thefore God can interact with us in time (now), while at the same time maintaining his eternal immutability and behold he changes not. Nothing has changed, even from the foundation of the earth.
