I don't know how you forgot all of this so suddenly. It sounds like you're making a lot of the mistakes you made the first time around too! It's pretty deep stuff, so I guess I can sorta see how you could forget some of it, but the fact that you seemed to think that theologians literally believed that God sat in empty space for billions and billions of years after it was explained to you that that wasn't the case at all is very strange to me. That seems like something you'd remember.

Oh, you're tripping over the Bible passage I cited? Weird, I wasn't attempting to get you to focus on that part of the verse, but on the phrase "before all time". "All eternity" is also often translated "now and forever", so if it helps, just think of it in that way.
