No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

Hi,

I have been asked today if I would be willing to share a flat with two of my best friends @ University. I currently live at home and travel in by train.

The situation is this: one of the people (my closest n/c friend) is gay, and the other and the fourth flatmate are in a relationship (not-married). None of them are Christians.

I have asked advice of my b/f and off two people I know through church. One friend says yes go for it - can witness better if living with non-Christians rather than living in an insular Christian bubble - the whole light on a dark background argument. The other says no, for reasons to be discussed tomorrow when I see her. My b/f is fine about me moving out of home into accomodation, but does not like the idea of me sharing a flat with non-Christians.

I'm on the fence. I don't want to go against Christian principles, but I also don't wish to commute for another year, and want to move closer to Uni. Costing is not an issue - although I think my b/f would prefer if I saved up for our own home.

HELP! What are your views? I'm confused

Laura
If cost isn't an issue, then why move into a situation you are not comfortable with?

most cases like this where you surround yourself with the world you become more like them a chance of even one of them becoming Christ like.....

my problem would be, I believe the Bible to be true and I would not want to move into a place that condones sin.... and that's what that flat does.....

plus, it's already putting a strain on your relationship with your b/f.... and if he's a good guy why ruin that?
