@Rasetsu What's UME?
Right. If, from God's point of view, time is like an extra physical dimension, along which objects are oriented, then God is timeless and absolute, and absolutely unable to change or to judge anything.
The Christian mess is in trying to reconcile an unchanging God with the capacity to have emotions and to take actions.
