I'll be traveling around the US as a graduation trip. I'll be back on June 6th.

I don't know what I'll be doing after my finals are over. I'll probably do various random things until about June 6, and then I'm up. Can I have a show of hands as to who's staying in the US after that time? I might as well visit around the US before heading back to Hong Kong. Please tell me ASAP: I need to plan this if it's going to work.

You circle an answer in a test, confident that it's right. Then, you're less confident that it's right, so you go back and change your answer. When you get your test back, you see that your original answer was right after all, but since you changed it, you got that question wrong after all. The teacher won't let you change the answer after the fact in your test; neither will time allow you to take back the wrong decisions you've made in life.

I picked up a book called "Handbook of Christian Apologetics" and one of the many things that they talked about, they reasoned that one might not absolutely need to be saved through Jesus. The reasoning is as follows: nobody has a perfect understanding of the One, and hence you need His grace. Therefore, it is not up to us to judge what is sufficient. The whole idea of being saved through Jesus is *our* idea of what we need to do to be saved, which may be different from those that haven't heard of Jesus, are born before Jesus, or do not fully understand or are incapable of comprehending the idea. Therefore, the criteria for judgment is really how much did one seek the truth of God, and is something that each person is accountable to only Him. Just something interesting (as in, I still would not recommend that book, because of the lackluster treatment of other areas).
