yeah my friends say that and one I haven't spoken to since she told me(by her choice and she just hasn't been online when I am) and the other keeps saying"oh so now you just going to ditch us because we are different" and I know by what the Bible says I shouldn't be friends with them but they were such good friends to me before they told me they were bisexual. Oh and by the way I just found this out like two days ago. I just don't know what to do I need advice. What should I do? sad

sad Well, that sucks...
No, you shouldn't just stop being friends with them.
That makes them and everyone else think of Christianity as narrow-minded.
God loves everyone, and that includes those people who claim to be bisexual and homosexual. You need to keep with them and show them that you love them. The next time one of those friends accuses you of leaving them for being bisexual, I want you to tell them something like this:
Look. I'm a Christian, and homosexuality of and kind or degree is wrong, and there's nothing you can say or do to change that. But you're both great friends to me, and I love and accept you, and so does God. No, I'm not going to stop being friends with either of you, and no, I don't think any less of either of you.
And...hopefully, someone who is positive about the exact way to say something like this will come along and correct me, but I do know that you shoudn't stop being freinds with them. God hates the sin and loves the sinner, and He doesn't want you to exclude any of your brothers and sisters. 3nodding Hope it helped at least a little...you just really need to communicate all that to your friends so they know how it works with you, them, and your faith.
PM me if you need anything, ja?
God bless you.
heart ,
Vivi

Vivi well in the bible it does say not to affiliate with the wicked,yet i do agree she should talk to them and stay friends but if they deny God after you try to help,you should stop talking and should not allow your mind to be polluted by them,God Bless ya for caring and i hope maybe you can talk some sense into them or make them truly think about God ,dont abandon them tell them why you cant or why you will try to pull them through the hardship

We are to love the sinner and hate the sin. We are in this world but not of it. If were to stop being their friend u would cut off a chance of them coming to God. We are to remove ourselves from worldly ways but not the ppl - otherwise how would they come to know Christ.
