He lives outside of time, able to know past, present and future at once. Abraham and Job had free will. God tested them to see what they would choose. Yet He must have known what they would choose. It is very difficult to understand and confusing. As I understand Calvinism, God randomly chose those who would become His at the beginning, so only "the elect" come to salvation and eternal life. How puzzling. What about, "that none should perish"?

We are not tested for God's benifit, but our own. And I'm talking from a perspective of any God, any spirituality. We are the ones with something to prove, and learn and grow. We are preparing for Afterlife, whether you believe that is Heaven, Summerland, Vahalla, or even reincarnation. So to answer your question, I do believe that God is multidimentional and lives in all time and existance.

Are you familiar with deductive and inductive reasoning? This question makes zero sense. One thought is not a result of the other thought. What does God have to do with either living in the future or Abraham and Job? Huh? Why does God do anything? He is beyond our reason.

I don't believe that God "sees" into the future, like He's some sort of old wizard looking into His big crystal ball. Time is absolutly nothing to God, we are the ones who live in a world that is under the control of time as we know it. We are mortal, He is immortal. He is outside, inside, behind, in front of what we know as time. We mere humans, that are stuck in time cannot understand any of this, it's beyond us. Someday, the Bible says, someday we will know, just as we are known. When we stand before Him, then it will become clear. So I don't worry, or concern myself with this, it is a good question though.

Yes, I believe that God can see the future. He may not choose to look ahead at everything and every aspect that every indivisual will choose though. One might think that it you had the ability, that one would use it. In a very minut illustration, we have the ability to know how a movie will end, but most of us prefer to wait. . He gave us free will and want's us to use it in a righteous way. (Pro 27:11)
