Is the statement 'God is NOT confined by time as we know it.' dependent on
your concept of God? Are you implying that God is all knowing with no
limitations because of the freedom God gave us?

I would think that God uses absolute time, while we are all limited to using
relative time. What would be the scaling for that absolute time? Why should
it have a zero point on that time scale? I believe that we are free to
choose the scale that will best fit our personal world view.
