4. That was so confusing...please elaborate.

If time travel is possible, it makes it so that you can't change anything in the past, because the past already happened. Like, if you met your future self and had a conversation with him, it's inevitable that you would eventually go back in time after that and have that same exact conversation with your past self, but the roles will be reversed. Or, if you saw the episode of the Twilight Zone where a guy goes back in time to shoot Hitler, but before he can do anything, he is caught by the Gestapo and he fails to make a difference in history. In your case, it's impossible to kill your grandmother anyway, because even if you try, she will still survive and you will be born, because even before you went back in time, your grandmother kept it a secret that someone who looked just like you tried to kill her a long time ago. Does that make more sense?

8. Here's the thing, if GOD created a rock that he could not lift, not being to lift it would make him cease to be almighty, cause he can do anything. Lifting the rock would be braking his rule as a god who never lies, and not being able to make a rock that he couldnt lift would also make him unable to be almighty.....its a paradox i believe

Right, but I'm saying that God is SO almighty, that He could take away the aspect of paradox and do both at the same time. He could make an infinitely heavy rock, then say "I am so almighty that I can lift it" and then change His mind and say "I am so almighty that I made something I can't lift." And continue to change it to His liking.

Yes, for clarifying, but I still dnt get it. If I go back in time and kill my grandma wats goin to stop me? how will my grandma forsee me goin back in time to kill her? Are you saying that if I go back in time, shoot her in the face 56 times, and leave, she wont be dead?

(And about ur conversation thing. If u go back in time and talk to urself, and then do it again and be own the other side, wont u remember the conversation from the last time? This being the case, couldnt u hav a tottaly new conversation with urself, just because u kno wat the last conversation was? And so if u had a different conversation with urself, wouldnt the first conversation ultimately change to the second conversation u had, therefore changing the past?

an sorry for my argument being mostly in questions lol

Time is time, no changing that.

It's a complicated subject yes, but there is no changing it. Say you went back in time to end all violence. You will fail because everything will turn out exactly how it is now. Somehow, someway you will be stopped because time is somewhat of a ball. Time is how it is now because everything is going "according to plan" you can say. Think of time also like a living creature, it takes account of all what has happened and what will happen and shaped it. So no matter how hard you try something like this could not occur.

1. The bullet wouldn't penetrate the armor, on the premise that the armor is bulletproof.
2. Yes if he can't swim, he can drawn. Did you mean can he die from drowning?
3. Yes, I accept the mission because...who the fuck is you to assign me to a mission son!
4. This isn't possible, unless the past is an actual location. As to say the past currently exists in some other dimension. If this is too cheap...then If she goes back in the past and kills her grandmother, she wouldn't cease to exist because things don't just despair anyway. If she returns to the future after killing her grandmother, her grandmother would still be alive in the past. Time travel isn't really plausible.
5. -100...what?
6. I will think yes, then say no.
7. My headlights will be on, that's for sure.
8. You can't create something beyond you...can you?
