CAN God choose not to know the future?
That's one of those questions that will make you go cross-eyed if you think too much about it.

Depends on if you think God knows the future, and if so in how much detail.

Or if you understand God being outside of time rather than bound by time. If one is outside of time, is there such a thing as past, present or future?

Origen of Alexandria (c 185-254) described Scripture as divine baby talk, saying that God speaks to us like an adult speaks to a baby that understands only the simplest words and concepts.
