"Ah, but you are talking about your perception of reality; that is quite plain from the language you are using. To you, there is a “future” with outcomes that haven’t been determined, because that is how we perceive time. Since God exists outside of time and space, that cannot be how He perceives time. So you are anthropomorphizing God, and it is understandable why, since we have no real way to visualize how God would perceive time so it is natural to assume it is the same way that we do, but that is not logical or true."

No, I am saying that there is a "future" with a single outcome that HAS been determined. So, please don't say that I believe in "outcomes that haven't been determined."

Of course God exists outside of time and space. He manufactures time as it unfolds and created space from "nothing nothing". Your words are simply claiming that there are multiple outcomes possible but because Gdo knows the one that will occur multiple outcomes are possible. This is nonsense. Come to reality, my FRiend. Is there a single outcome that God knows about? Yes, or no?

“No, I am saying that there is a “future” with a single outcome that HAS been determined.”

That statement itself is contradictory. If we are talking about the future, you can’t use past-tense words like “has been determined” to describe it.

“Of course God exists outside of time and space. He manufactures time as it unfolds...”

Does He manufacture time as it unfolds? That doesn’t seem to be a good assumption, if time functions like the spatial dimensions. God doesn’t just expand height, width, and depth as people move around and need more space. A dimension, by its nature, extends in two directions to infinity. If it doesn’t, then it is not truly a dimension, but something else.

“Is there a single outcome that God knows about? Yes, or no?”

Yes.
