Two Scripture Questions
1. I can't think of the exact words, but I know there's a verse that says something to the effect that we often go through hardships so that we can minister to others going through similar hardships. Any clue what I'm saying?
2. Now this is a little bit more racy. A friend of mine told me her history teacher said that Original Sin was originally not in the Bible, and that Constantine added that in for his own purposes. Well if that's true, then there's a whole lot of rewritting he had to do! Is there any merit to this claim? Is it based on a hint of truth that scholars have blown up? Complete hogwash?
Thanks!
