If God knows you’re going to hell, can you change that?

Again, how do you know this? Where is it written in Catholic Doctrine?
 
It isn’t so much doctrinal as it is logical. Time is an artifact of the universe, the interval for physical processes. God, being eternal and existing independent of the universe, cannot be beholden to the laws within. We know He is not subject to the universe’s laws because of things like miracles. Why, then, would He be subject to time?

Doctrine is formed by logic. Contemplating God with the mind is just as worthy an exercise as contemplating with the heart.
 
The doctrine is formed by the Catholic Church … and as of now there is no official teaching on what you said … so I think we should follow the Doctrine of the Catholic Church. Just my opinion.
 
That article actually says that the doctrine of “God is eternal” means “God is outside of time.” It says the nature of time is not taught.

“I want to point out right up front that the Church does not have an official teaching on the nature of time, and I know orthodox Catholics who take different positions on the matter”
 
We aren’t talking about the nature of time but if God is within or outside it, which the article states is established by the church as “God is outside time.”

"The Church teaches that God is eternal. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:

We firmly believe and confess without reservation that there is only one true God, eternal , infinite ( immensus ), and unchangeable, incomprehensible, almighty and ineffable, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit; three persons indeed, but one essence, substance or nature entirely simple (CCC 202).

In popular speech, saying that something is eternal means that it lasts for an unlimited amount of time. However, when applied to God, the term “eternal” means something else: It means he is outside of time altogether."

It doesn’t say everything you wrote in your post … that’s what I took deference to. You can’t say what God does and does not do … we don’t know what God does.
 
Yes, the Church teaches what I said. The Church teaches, as I have quoted above, that God is outside of time. I don’t see what your logic is that leads you to deny this stated fact.
 
Not going to get into an argument with you … have a nice day.
 
Just to explain a little bit of where I was going … you are saying that God knows the end of our life … sure as far as He knows everything that’s right … but does God LOOK at the end of our life … or does He choose to help us throughout our lives and at the end then He looks at it … I don’t think we can try to say that we know what God actually does throughout our lives.
 
The only problem with your thought process is that God doesn’t have to wait to look at the end, it’s available to be observed the moment we come into existence. God, obviously, gives us grace throughout our lives. We do have free will. God seeing the end of our lives doesn’t contradict any of this. He just sees the end result and the start all at once, because there is no progression of time that blocks Him from seeing beyond what we observe as the present.
 
I don’t think I’m explaining myself well enough … so we’ll just leave it be.
 
I think you’re explaining yourself pretty well, but don’t seem to be looking at this from the standpoint of someone outside of time, not blocked from seeing what we observe as the future.
 
But God can do anything, and He can determine that He doesn’t want to see the end … that’s my point.
 
Why? What would that do? The future does not exist to us, but the result of our free will and choices is observable by God. It’s not like He could change how that pans out, because the end result He sees is the end result of His grace and our free will. All “changes” have already occurred.
