Flatmates

[laurabuk]

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

Ok, here are my views. It absolutely would not be a sin to room with a gay friend. In fact, I think God would be proud of you for doing so because it would show Him that you truly do care about all people, not just heterosexual people. Also, by rooming with non-Christian friends, you could better witness to them.
