Someone once told me (and I tell you she really knew her stuff when it came to the Bible) that God could know what would happen in the future. And of course this has to be true, because how else could God tell Isaac and Jacob and them that they would have a huge nation of kids, and that they would be kings and queens and stuff. Also, He gave Joseph the gift of being able to interpret dreams, and of course He did that because it would help him to become one of the most powerful men in Egypt. OK, so that's all clear. But then WHY I ask you, did God make Adam and Eve if he KNEW that they would take a bite from the forbidden apple????
Another question. Jesus was 'born' in Isreal. Why is it that in all of the pictures I see of Jesus and Mary, they are both white? They wear the right clothes, but I think that if God wanted to send Jesus to be born in Isreal, he would look more like an Isreali?
I really, really don't mean to be trying to prove anything wrong, or anything like that. It's just that these questions have been bugging me for a really long time. (I am unfortunately no longer in contact with the lady who knows so much about the Bible.)
Thanks in advance!
