Bible Question: sorry about that, i had no idea i was doing that, i'm on a different name now, i just want you all to know, that God DID make a way, He's so wonderful. Wanna know what happened? Well, turns out, this guy, happens to be a rapid learner, he read a little from the Bible, and now he's counseling me!! I see the Bible in a whole different prespective now! God's doing something with him, i don't know what, but, it's something, well, just wanted you to know, God bless!:-) |
Bible Answer: Teengurl, This development should be a red warning flag to you. In the spirit of telling the truth in love, you are seeing only what you want to see and you are being played. So, you disobeyed your father again by continuing to communicate with this guy? You know that nothing good can come from this. God does not call us to disobey what you know is right in order to do His will. Let me explain. So, your friend is a rapid learner, he read a little from the Bible, now he's counseling you, and now you see the Bible in a whole different perspective? I don't think so. Liars adapt to fit the needs of their victims. Open your eyes to what is really happening, not what you want to happen. Talk to someone about what is going on. Even if what you say is true, most of the time, a little knowledge is more dangerous than none. Like when first semester physics students think they can wire a house for electricity becuase they can solve the equations for the circuit. Everyone has needs, but we depend on Christ to fulfill them, not some guy who knows what to say to get you to trust him. You best be careful, what a 19 year old man wants from a 13 year old girl is not Godly or in the interests of the 13 year old girl, who by the way, is disobedient, willfull, inexperienced in the ways of the world and playing with fire. If your perspective on the Bible has changed, does it by any chance now tell you that it is OK to meet with this guy? If so, then ask him if its OK for your father to go with you. If your friend is really what he says, he should be fine with that, in fact, he would want to meet him. But if he's hiding something, he'll talk you out of that idea. Do yourself a favor, stop using the computer until you tell all this to an experienced pastor. You have no excuse, they are listed in the phone book, so call one and tell him your story. If you are obedient to Christ, you will obey your father. Stop communicating with this guy, get off the computer and reach out to the people you know in person. |
