We should all be able to socialize with anyone...the fine line as a believer, is not allowing their lifestyle to affect your walk. And really Trinity, most times discernment isn't needed...believers KNOW when relationships aren't good for them anymore. Sometimes they're just looking for a cop-op to slack up on their walk...ijs.:) Thanks for chiming in my friend...have a good one!Michell Pulliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626012506118587609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817390378311200949.post-76838125659777317232013-07-15T15:20:26.598-04:002013-07-15T15:20:26.598-04:00I agree Hope!

Many people hate Christians for this reason; we forget we are sinners too and treat others poorly just because their sin is different. Jesus certainly wasn't hanging out with pharisees, but instead prostitutes and others who could soil His reputation because they are who needed him most.Bekah Loves Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144027421327457668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817390378311200949.post-50559861284681446792013-07-12T18:03:15.481-04:002013-07-12T18:03:15.481-04:00Solid advice, Michell.

Predicaments such as this often challenge us, as believers, to evaluate whether we are ruining our witness by associating with people who behave ungodly. No one wants to behave in a "holier than thou" manner. After all, Jesus hung out with those who had questionable reputations. But, at the same time, we must protect our ability to effectively witness to other people. People who are not mature in Christ will automatically assume that "birds of a feather flock together". However, we know that is not ALWAYS true. Sometimes, one bird in the flock maybe trying to straighten out the other birds!
