You can e.g. postulate God having His own time or times as His temporal dimensions of movement which provide Him with something like a dynamical quality (actually doing things in our sense wrt His timeline.) while looking onto our timeline as a dimension which He can access arbitrarily and see whole. This only works if our timeline is deterministic though, but it isn't in and of itself contradictory or fallacious imho.

Interesting. If it's in an alternate temporal dimension can it physically show up and have actions in our dimension?

And if it's outside of our time how can humans perceive it? Have humans been able to perceive anything outside of our time/dimension?

Ignorant physics guy questions.

This question is difficult to answer concretely because it has been very difficult to write down an actual field theory with more than one time dimension which actually obeys self-consistency and all the existing experimental observations. The ideas that have been proposed include scenarios in which the additional time dimension could in principle be noticed by particle experiments, but the idea is not currently studied intensely by theorists because past efforts have not been very fruitful, and adding more time dimensions doesn't seem to solve any of the current problems in fundamental physics, at least not without breaking more than one likes to solve. So, the proposition is not very popular right now once you let Occam's razor take care of it. But once you go away from simple natural explanations and postulate a very complicated entity existing across these dimensions, all these considerations are out of the window anyways. The important thing is that the idea itself is not inconsistent.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
