It's just that in the bible it does refer to God's book, and that our lives are planned and God knows what is going to happen. If that is true, then surely we cannot change that, hence there being no free will. If there IS total free will, then surely that indicates a lack of control...?
"I know that I am the first to argue that we are all God's creations and that our lives are planned in advance, but why would he give a life only to take it away." - a christian
Gerard, you took those words right out of my mouth!...besides the quote
But in regards to Draftermatts question, yes, I have read the Bible..and completely.
This is the way I see the Christian Bible, I see a book that has no real significance, only to the person who chooses to comprehend it...just like everything else on this earth.
I have actually known a few people in my life that dont read the Bible for any religious or spiritual reasons, but rather for a guideline instead. For the most part, they agree that the Bible has an enormous amount of inconsistencies, but that doesnt stop them from extracting very useful information from it.
Knowledge is knowledge, I wont disagree with that.

"Abandon all hope yee who enter here" - "Those who enter cross over willingly"
Christianity teaches that you will not go to Hell as long as you don't think you will. God will forgive any sin as long as you ask for forgiveness and mean it. If you do not ask, or give up hope, then you will go to hell. God only punishes those who lose faith in Him.
So if you believe you will go to hell you will. God gives you free will to make your own decisions. That is the kind of loving God He is. He makes you forge your own path.

Well you see, that doesnt really make sense. If your future is already written out in "Gods book", that means that "free will" is just an illusion, and that no matter what you do, you are condemned.
So no matter what you do, you would have already had a reservation for hell when you were born, and there is no changing it...thats what it written in "Gods book".
I just dont get how God says that all of of humanity has "free will".
These paradoxes are mainly the reasons why I left religion alone.

From what I have read so far, Its very apparent that peoples beliefs vary greatly, thats no suprise. Even since the beggining of recorded history it has been like that.
I myself am not religious whatsoever, I am more spiritual. I remember when I was growing up I was somewhat religious, that is until eventually I was able to form my own thoughts and opinions.
I believe that if one chooses to grasp a certain belief and live by it, thats just fine, I mean , if what they are doing makes them live happily, why not continue doing it ?
Some may say " but those people are living in ignorance ", think about it, what makes your belief any more significant than anyone elses?
I have a question for the religions that revolve around the concept of satan and hell.
They say that God is extremely kind and merciful, whos love extends to the very ends of the universe, and that he is all knowing.
So if God can see your beggining and end like a script, why would he even place those people that are going to hell on earth anyways?, he is practicaly placing people on earth so that they can go to hell. What kind of loving God is that?

my funniest glitch is to jump on a plane fly upwards then jump out with the parachute then put in the jetpack cheat but then presst circle but then press triangle straingt FTER THE PARACHUTE has come out full but cj still thinks he's falling even so you have jetpack on and your just floating downwards slowly
I barely, just barely got what you said, but yeah, that one is funny.
Extra note: try using these (,,,,,,,,,) a whole lot more.

I personaly love Gran turismo, and any other racing racing games that I play, they dont seem to offer what I am looking for in a racing game. Sure, Fortza motor sports has physical crash damage and many others have there own unique features, but I really just dont care for those things. There is something special that Gran tursmo has, and I really dont know what it is. All I know is that I love the feeling when there is such a difficult task, and it requires such precision and skill, that you cant even be a hundreth of a second off in your total time, and then after many unsuccessful attempts, you finally get it! God, I just love that. One specific course on the Driving missions in GT4, the last mission, I think it was mission 32 Nurburgring Nordschleif. This mission took me around 15 hours to complete, and believe me, Im no rookie when it comes to Gran turismo. After I completed the mission, I had a sense of pride and fullfilment, just knowing that I finally completed this excedingly difficult mission that haunted me for what seemed like endless hours, I just could not believe how difficult this mission was. I guess thats what real race car drivers have to go through to master there driving skills, and more. I know its just a game, but Im not afraid to admit that I am a full blown-out game-junkie, I ve been playing video games since I was 5, and damnit, Its my passion!
I hope you guys have something to share about Grand turismo experiences!

What the f*ck is your problem? Now stop going off-topic or get away from the topic.
Wow, youre bossy

Yep, computers will become way too advanced for our own good. Pretty soon, computers will become so advanced that they'll spawn guns and missiles and kill us. Maybe not, but soon we won't be able to open a damn file the way things are going.
Well depends, are you speaking conceptually or realisticly. Currently, computer technology is growing exponentialy ( at least that what they say ), they also say that gig-hertz ratings and total-floating-points are reaching there practical limits, but you never know, they always seem to be making breakthrews in computer technology. Ok, lets assume that they get passed some certain limitations, according to trends, in less than 50 years ( just estimating, dont know for sure ), we should be able to achieve the hard-ware and knowledge that will be capable of simulating a machine that will be capable of making "human like" decisions, maybe it will even actually have conscious awarness. Ok now, lets also consider that technology in other areas is also growing at a fast rate, technology such as quantum-mechanics ( nuclear science in short ). What I am trying to get to here is that nuclear sciences are already to a point in wich they are capable of rendering mankind extinct, just imagine even 10 years from now. Now, my point is, can we even reach the year were we are able to build this super-smart machine that is capable of turning on us? or will we just blow ourselves up with nuclear devices that in some unnecesary fued, wich scenario is more likley?

dude. this shark is ALL over the place. i see it ALL the time. its not that rare, not that scary. it duznt do anything to u. its simply there for decoration. it MITE be that mechanical shark that tommy didnt want in the movie but i doubt it. its there for decoration. just like all the other fish. the turtles arent rare! there everywhere. and dont forget all those schools of fish. theres alot more scary things in the vice waters. i found a guy in his swimtrunks, under water, at the base of a rock, with cement shoes on, DEAD. and other things like sunken ships and cars. and smaller boats. there r also dolfins! y r u afraid of doing something in a vidiogame?
Did you really see a guy in swimtrunks, under water, at the base of a rock with cement shoes on and dead in GTAVC? did you really?......strange, I smell burning pants.

(DOH DOH DOH!) then you would be playing simpsons hit and runWhat the f*** are you talking about?
When I said uncut, I mean I can take the subject matter in GTA pretty well. Since when I was nine or ten, I could handle the idea of stuff like murder, rape, etc. I wasn't handed down kiddie-shit.
And to expand what I said about everything you can do is somewhat illegal, might as well look at the name. Grand Theft Auto.
If you don't want a game with homicide, drug smuggling, and prostitution, go play Bully, Hit and Run, or something else and GTFO.
Why did you reply to him so offensively? , I dont think his intentions were to offend.

just to say 100th post
also the cj moms ghost thing.
I went in at 00:00
and i heard footsteps and every so often there was a faint voice and a extremely faint white outline of a woman goes quickly from one side of the room to another. Then it carried on through the wall
C,mon dude really. Do you think you're gonna slip something like that in this forum with all of these GTA veterans around?
-
Well Timmy, realize that five years have passed since GTA 3 and thirteen since SA and twenty since VC. Anyones personality can change within those time gaps. Anything could have happened to warp their personalites.
Yeah, I suppose...Damn, Im an Idiot
Btw, how do you find so much time to write, and good too, not just some half assed story put together over night.
-
Ya know, Tec 9 has a point there. When I think about, I enjoyed the console versions alot more than I did with the PC version, "unedited and uncut".
-
I just dont know why sex is such a touchy subject for most of todays youth. Im pretty thats not the way it was intended...something went wrong along the way.
-
tl;dr
So yeah, skipping every post in here I'm just going to say my opinion.
What does it feel like? It's wet, warm, and tight. Not entirely hard to imagine if you have any imagination left. f*** up? You can't really f*** up when having sex unless you're a complete moron.... Stick rod 'a' into slot 'b'. Common sense. Better yet, it's NATURAL INSTINCT. The less you worry about "messing up" the better time you'll have. TRUST ME.
Another tip of advice, I'd wait until you're with someone who actually means something to you unless you have no care for that type of stuff in the least. Me, I personally like things that have meaning to them. Intimate sex(("making love", whatever you want to call it)) is actually really nice. Don't get me wrong, f***ing your girl doggystyle is loads of fun((for the both of you, infact!)), but sometimes it's nice to do things a little gentler and more loving. Just personal experience talking here.

men brother -
The topic title is self explanatory, I get a message saying something like, an upgrade is being installed or something.
-
Nice writing, Good storyline, not boring, just good overall. But IMO, I dont think you really capture the characters. I just cant imagine some of them saying some certain things, unless youre trying to go something differnt? But all in all Bravo Bravo
-
I also said " or by anyone else talking about it" and no, I personally dont asking about sex at that age is to young.
So if a 9yrs old child asked how to do s*x.Will you answer easily?
Well, if I had to answer the child, I would reply to him/her in a way that they can comprehend. Chances are the child probably wouldnt even understand what you were trying to tell him/her if you told them in true detail. So yeah, I would answer the child with ease, I dont see what is so hard, just do it in a way that is in respect to his/her specifications...If you know what they are of course.

Lol
How come i missed this topic.
:o ANYway it looks that underage members here know more about sex.
I mean.Its Sick.
To ask HOW IT FEEL WHEN WE HAVE SEX
What would make you say something so ignorant about something that is so important and vital? Your "creator" gave you ( and everyone ) genitalia for a reason, to propel mankind into the future, so that we may live on and enjoy everything that life has to offer, not for you to feel disgusted by it ( or by anyone else talking about it ) . The act of sex is the single most powerful and greatest thing on this planet, its what gives humanity a purpose. Yeah, of course thats how you feel about it, and thats your opinion on the matter, but Im not going to sit here and read what you wrote without replying in a suprised manner. MY god, whats wrong with todays society, I cant believe this is the mentality of many. The youth cant even comprehend a simple, but yet so important act without being disgusted by it. Evolved beings are we?....I really doubt it.
Lol
But at this age if you are asking.Isnt it tooo young?
I never said Having SEX is Sick.
Did I?
I also said " or by anyone else talking about it" and no, I personally dont think asking about sex at that age is to young.

Explaining how to mod textures over pms is a long and difficult task, believe me I have done it before with very few people. So I suggest going to a website that is dedicated to explaining how do such tasks. I was thinking of submiting this file but I didnt anyone would really like it.
-
This a mod I made a few weeks ago, suprisingly I still had the modded file on my computer. I think this is suitable for kids
-
Odd... maybe mods glitched it or something? (I'm just assuming you have the PC version)
This happened to me on the PS2 version, it was the very first time I played

The Euros doesn't spawn as a ped-driven car :|
Yeah I know, Its just so weird that It appeard as a ped-driven car. One time I saw a ped driving a Bullet in the far ends of the desert where Barbara lives....weird

Ok, lets clear some things up....
First of all, has anyone here ever read every single version of the Bible?, no, so how would you know that there isnt a "book of god?", look on the internet and you will eventually find the reference.
Ok, lets assume that there isnt a "book of god", when someone refers to something with these
('') on a word, it doesnt necesarily mean that they are quoting from something in particular.
It could mean a number of things, for me Im refering to Gods all knowing knowledge, his ability to see past, present and future.
I just dont get how so many religious people dont even bother to comprehend certain aspects of the Bible, they just justify with some answer that they probably dont even understand..is that faith?
Give me your love or forever burn in hell, not just a few years or even centuries but for eternity. You hear me, ETERNITY!
Yeah, I would really like to worship this "loving" God.
