“If God 'foresaw' our acts, it would be very hard to understand how we could be free not to do them. But suppose god is outside and above the Time-line... You never supposed that your actions at this moment were any less free because God knows what you are doing.

In a sense, He does not know your action till you have done it: but the moment at which you have done it is already 'NOW' for Him.”
