If God is acting inside time, then he is subject to time. Actions have duration; beginning, middle, and end.
The action he would be acting in time would be subject to time not him himself, a good example of that would be his incarnation in the Virgin Mary, the action of the incarnation was subject to time God himself however wasn’t bound by it.
That’s not what I said, I think you misunderstood me. You asked me of an example of an action outside of time, I said there can be no example of any such action from anything of creation, only God being uncreated and the author of time can preform an action outside of time itself, thus the only example of an action outside of time would be from God himself.
Because everything created is affected by time and it’s changes.
Nothing in that quote contradicts what I've said.
If everything has a beginning than something has to have authored it and if all of creation has a beginning as science affirms than only something uncreated could have caused it to be what it is and created it and that would be God, what is created couldn’t have caused itself to exist.
What calculations are those? I think you misunderstand the meaning of an open set, which does not include the endpoint. For example, all the real numbers greater than zero contains some pretty small numbers, but it does not contain zero. With time, you can get as early as you want, but the 'zero' moment isn't contained in that set.
Regardless of that, the universe and time didn’t always exist and had a start somewhere.
That's exactly what it means.
So if I know that when you drop a pen in the air regardless of your supposed ignorance of the laws of gravity, and know 100% that it will hit the ground when you yourself don’t than according to you, you didn’t actually choose to drop it in the air. If A is exactly what it means than B must follow too.
The only way choice can exist is if I can make a choice that God does not expect. Otherwise, it's not a choice.
As I said your assertion is simply absurd as knowing 100% that if you drive a Ferrari too fast while on a crowded road during traffic your going to get yourself into a nasty car accident, according to you logic if I knew the outcome without a shred of a doubt than you didn’t actually choose nor desire to do the action in the first place rather it was forced upon you by me, make sense?
But the fact that my actions are known in advance means I'm not the one choosing them, and therefore they are not my choice. Maybe somebody else made them besides God. It doesn't matter who made the choice for me, but the point is that it's not my choice.
As I already stressed enough this is not the case, if we as mortal finite humans can know an action before it happens in certain predictable situations and you would not concur that we didn’t choose the action in the first place. If you honestly think that God knowing something for certain removes the freedom of choice than you’d have to reject the very reality we live in, it’s as simple as that. Your merely trying to create an argument of conflict between God’s attribute of omniscience and our God given free will when in reality it does not exist.
That's like saying 2 plus 2 can be both 4 and not 4.
Well for one this isn’t math and has nothing to do with math, would you deny that once your thoughts are written in paper they’d cease to exist in the confines of your mind, Also even mathwise 2 + 2 isn’t 4 before you add it, it is only 2 + 2 = 4 post addition not pre addition, so yes 2 + 2 can = 4 and not be 4 in different respects, but not in the same way and respect.
