We are not experiencing some previously created, already recorded moment of time. There is no linear scale, there is only now.

For God to be able to see all of time as a
single "moment", all of time must already exist. If it did not exist, it would not be there for Him to see. If any event (in our future) can be seen by God in His "now", such event
must occur in our future.
We are confined within the limits of space-time even if God is not. We therefore are required to travel through time in a liner progression from our past to our future, with "now" being the only frame of reference that exists to us. For us, the future that is seen in God's "moment" does not exist. For our future to coincide with God's "moment", every aspect of our future
must be set in stone.
Omniscience renders free will an illusion.
