Yes, I don't understand the notion that because God may know what is going to happen that he was the one who made the choice for it to be that way. We choose our own paths and make our own destinies. It seems to me that we have all the free will we need. I think the reason we were granted the ability to make our own…
It is insincere to believe something just because it is "better safe than sorry" and "you have nothing to lose."

It would simply be fact and everyone would know it as fact. Therefore if God had been proven as fact then people would not be able to choose to love God. They would not be…
[ QUOTE ] This girl is cute http://www.plentpak.com/kitagawakeiko/ [/ QUOTE ] I'm afraid I'm gonna have to side with Soul on this one guys. Also, I believe Alicia Keys is rather fine and has a good voice too. The truth shall be heard.
