The future exists only in our imagination. God has an imagination too and can predict the future just about as well as we can when we have all the facts.

The "future" that is some "place" out there full of things and events just waiting to happen --- that is science fiction. It doesn't exist EXCEPT in our imaginations.

God doesn't see into the future because there is nothing there for Him to see.

And no, God does not have everything planned out from the beginning of time till the end of time. That flies in the face of free will. He gave us free will, so the choices about what will happen in the next few seconds or years or centuries are ours. We can't blame things on "God's Plan."

The theologians say that "God and reality are the same thing." God deals in reality, because that's all there is.

Imagine that you could visit any spot on a timeline of history past, present, and future. You could actually experience each era, not merely "see" it.

Now imagine that you're God, free from all restraints of time and space. Here on earth most deists accept the notion that God can be everywhere at once. Now stretch your mind a little bit and imagine that God can be everyWHEN at once, as well. He not only "sees" the future, He's already there, preparing the way ahead of us. Cool, huh?

I know you'll probably hear this more than once..but wanted to add something to it...

first...God doesn't see "into" the future so much as He can see all periods of time. This is because God exists outside of time. (note Jesus' answer "Before Abraham was, I am"

Also, for those that think God existing outside of time, and therefore being able to see all of time is just a hoax....let's go back to Relativity, and examine "Singularity" as it applies to time....where all time occurs at once.

You're confusing God with an energy form.
Creation occurs when quarks explode and
interface with invisible forces we call Laws
Of Physics.
The energy is not the forces.
The forces are not a form of energy.
If God was a person who knew the future,
what would be the point ?

God is the alpha and omega, beginning and end, no need to see the future if there is no time in the realm of the spirit.

God has the future all planned. Sure he knows.

He doesn't need to see into the future, because He knows it already. Time is not the same to him as it is to us.

yes and no

I believe that God exists outside of time. From our perspective he could see the future. From his perspective he would simply be seeing the "now", as everything from his perspective is "now".

He knows the future.

He can see into the future in the sense He makes the future.
Meaning: If He wants something to happen in 2012, He can arrange things to make it happen ....even referring to it ahead of time.
From our standpoint it appears He can tell the future, but really He arranges it.
