Well, yesterday i went to an amusement park w/ a friend for her sweet 16. i had alot of fun, but it's what happened on the way home that's important. well, my friend's been struggling to understand the Bible and what it means and why our pastor is telling her different things than what she's read in the Bible. see, she had this Bible that twisted the words around so that none of what she'd been reading was really true and i'd told her about my Bible and how it was easy to understand and had foot notes and actually explained things and she'd told her mom about it and her mom got it for her a while ago. well, she's been reading it and every time we see each other she always has questions about what she read, and for some reason she comes to me w/ her questions instead of our pastor. well, last night she asked why the husband is the head of the house and not the wife. so, i told her about how God made Adam first and not Eve and how when He did make Eve it was from Adam's rib therefore placing Eve as his equal and not his head or shoulder therefore making Eve his superior. then she asked why God let Adam and Eve sin and i had to explain to her that if He hadn't there'd be no need for Him to sen His son to die on the cross and forgive our sins so we could go to heaven when we die if we believed and accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior. Then she asked if God could sin! i was like NO WAY! HE'S PERFECT! if God sinned, then there'd be no hope for us going to Heaven cause there's no sin in Heaven. She asked a whole bunch of other questions and they just kept getting harder and harder to answer. she asked why God has a plan nfor us and what is it and i didn't know what to tell her. does any1 have any advice they can give me for the next time my friend asks me that?
