Can prayer change God's perfect plan?

[Brian37]

I think some people are just having a hard time grasping the concept of being outside the dimension of time and therefore being able to see it all at once. Which is understandable, since we live within time and don't have the ability to comprehend a dimension that is outside of it.

To us, it's past, present, and future, one moment happening at a time... and if we imagine someone "knowing the future" we imagine it means they know because they will control it. So, since they know what we will choose to do in the future, that must mean they will control what we choose, right? I get that.

But there is a difference between that^ and someone being outside of time entirely, and them "knowing the future" because to them there is no "future" to begin with - they are outside of that. They can see everything happening all at once, hence they can see us making our choices.

But of course this gets to the point where that's what you're asserting what God's nature is, and actually demonstrating this assertion is another ball of wax entirely.

That is true. I know I can't prove anything. I'm just giving my opinion. I'm glad you can understand what I'm saying though.

You can fantasize with unlimited imagination about what lays outside space and time in another dimension. If I claimed a giant invisible pink unicorn is outside space and time that would be just as equal a guess, and just as superfluous with no evidence.

If you want a real measurement of what space/time and other dimensions you go with quantum physics, not old books of myth. There is no super natural or deity or God/gods needed to fill in the gap to explain the unknown.
