Oh...because Paul quotes a Greek poem...


*You gotta first have good character...

Romans 5
"3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us 6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly"

Yes He did. But He's not friends with them unless they obey His commands.

His command is to love as He did...


*"LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU"

Right, it's not like Jesus spent time with sinners, tax collectors, and prostitutes.

You can love unbelievers without being friends with them.

"Sorry Joe, you're not the same religion as me, so we can't catch the ball game together. However, know that from way over here far from you, I still love you. You know, it's like a separate but equal thing."

Going to a ball game isn't an act of love.

Is Jesus friends with unbelievers who don't obey him?

They were mocking him. Even they knew it was unholy to be friends with an unbeliever.
