Bible Question: what do you do when your friend is a homosexual |
Bible Answer: johnpastors, Your situation is a familiare one. It raises alot of questions in our hearts and minds. Do we break off the friendship? Do I keep my distance? I only had to go back to my salvation to understand that God loved me,it was the sin that he hated.I've learned over time that we can love people and not buy into their lifestyle. The best thing you can do for now is having your friend seeing the Word living in you. Share your faith with this person,pray for this person,pray with this person.Be a friend. The time may come when you may have to leave your friend to his/her devices. Jesus told the apostles not to cast their pearls before swine. So it is also for us in our day and time and it's a decision we will have to make at various points in our own life. It doesnt mean we give up on people,it does mean we do the godly thing and sometimes that may seem harsh and hardline,but at times that may be the most kind loving thing we can do for people. If we truly love people as Jesus loved and still loves us then we will ask the hard questions, even if they dont want to hear it and we dont want to say it. There is no xyz formula for your friend. It's the same formula that you and I had to apply our lives when we became disciples of Jesus Christ. That formula is Jesus. The best thing I can say to you here is, be the man of God that He's called you to be.In the end that can be what will help win your friend to Christ. I hope this helps. In Christ, lionheart |
