Outside spacetime = No place and at no time.
In my opionon when people talk about outside spacetime they`re talking about nothing. That which does not exist anywhere at anytime.
Your thoughts?

Hopefully you realize that there are many real things that exist outside of time and space. A thought for example. It is not bound by either. It can take you form ancient China to futuristic Mars, or even a non-place like Hogwarts, without the limits of either time or space. Yet is a very powerful thing that can alter the entire world.
According to one of the most accepted modern theories on the origin of the universe, energy exist outside of time and space. It is eternal. In the Big Band it was converted from energy to matter to form both time and space.
God also exist outside of time and space, because by definition, God is the "first case", meaning the thing which made everything else. So it had to have existed outside of both time and space, and yet have the power and intelligence to make everything.
So to believe that existing "outside of time and space" makes something unreal has not logical support.

we don't understand existence too well. as far as we know existence happens within the matrix of spacetime, it is unknown by what means and in what way something "outside" spacetime would exist. it is also unknown how such a thing could affect events in local spacetime. it seems like some would say that because we can't rule out such things, they must exist.

Well for a start spacetime is only four dimensions. According to string theory there are at least 11 so far. And if you follow the idea that time is relative, and we observe it from sequential relative viewpoints then God can quite easily be observing the whole of time as one and existing in the whole of time as one. It could be that he is outside human perception of time rather then time itself. Look up Boethius or Augustine for a more thorough understanding.
Just a thought

it rather is a typical logical loop atheists love and Christians push aside. this is yet another one: God is all-powerful and omniscient.. this implies, the can DO something, not something is exterior his draw close of potential. He is likewise conscious of each and every little thing. each and every little thing there is to comprehend, each and every little thing that has took place and each little thing which will take place. How is that this a logical loop? Say god knows the worldwide will end next Thursday. he's often widely used that, and it substitute into consistently going to end next Thursday. he's powerless to end it. If he's powerless to end it, then he's not all-powerful. If in spite of the shown fact that, he's all-powerful and chooses to end it, then he's not omniscient. He had consistently widely used the worldwide will end on Thursday, yet it did not, so how is that omniscient? Books can and have been written approximately those non secular logical loops. study "the god fantasy" bu richard dawkins... captivating stuff.

This material universe is not all in all. Actually, this material universe is just a small portion of God's creation. This material world is a small shadow of the original spiritual universe. God exist and live in the spiritual world, in His own planet, and at the same time is present through His energies in this material universe, as the sun is present everywhere through it rays and at the same time is fixed in one place.

We know the space we experience to some degree. If you were able to go beyond the universe, matter might not hold together, energy may not behave as we understand, but that is not necessarily nothingness.

When people talk about spacetime they usually don't know what they are talking about.

Its both inside and outside space and time.
Its inside space and time, when one sees it within all aspects of life. Its outside when only God is there, Time and space cease to exist during that experience.

God exists outside of and isn't limited by time or space. infinite simply means “without limits.” there is no place that you could go to escape God’s presence. he is present at every point of time and space. it establishes that God is eternal. God has always existed and will always exist. before time began, God was. before the world or even matter itself was created, God was. he has no beginning or end, and there was never a time he did not exist, nor will there be a time when he ceases to exist
because God is infinite, he is also said to be transcendent, which simply means that God is exceedingly far above creation, and is both greater than creation and independent of it. what this means is that God is so infinitely above and beyond us and our ability to fully comprehend that, had he not revealed himself, we would not know or understand what he is like
