Pretty funny!
A pastor of mine in the Nazarene church used to say that God is our navigator
NOT the DRIVER!!!
It would appear then that your friend has a clue because that IS what is meant by the helper. When Christ said he would send another helper he also defined what that helper would do;
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name , He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.
If the Holy spirit is doing what Christ says he will do then, he is teaching you and helping you remember his words. This is only relevant if YOU ARE the driver and if you are ACTING of your own volition and are directing your own steps. How could anyone rationalize any other reality on this subject..... and yet in the age of instant satisfaction that is exactly what people want to believe.
If
YOU love me....;
John 14:
15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
If
YOU love me then
YOU will keep my commandments.
AND THEN I will ask the father to send you a helper to do exactly that..... since he knows you cannot by your understanding alone be perfect in doing this. This is love that you HELP your neighbor, wife, son, daughter...
Matt 12:48 Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For
whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
