help, help, and more help

It is me again with the 2 friends who were doing the fake gay wedding.

Things have exploded. They are all over me. I told my friend Rachael about how I felt and she went and told them every little thing I said. They think that i am being all holy and wiser than them, which I am not trying to. But I just felt uncomfortable with the whole thing.

I told my dad and Rachael of course told them that, and they are livid. If I cannot tell my dad anything, who can I tell? They are turning it around like I did the wrong thing. And maybe I did, but I deep down do not think so. I asked them if they would go up in front of their church and say what they did, and they said they would. They keep thinking that I thought the wedding was real. I am not that stupid. I know it wasn't real. It was just the idea that I was uncomfortable with. Did I do the right thing?

I have cried and prayed over this. I just need advice.

I think you did right is the situation. Just continue to be loving towards them. As long as you are in the right with the Lord, that's all that matters.

The wrong thing you could have done would be to bend your morals and beliefs to please your friends. Even though it may now help heal your friendship with them, you should feel good about sticking to your guns.

I have a friend who is gay. I have known him all my life. I love him like my own brother, but I do not approve of homosexuality. He knows this. I am always up front about it. I think that maybe you should go to your friends & talk to them. Make sure that they still know you love them. Dont try to tell them that they are wrong. They probably already know. If you said something behind their backs, apologize, & tell them that you should have discussed it with them. If you didnt, let them know. But most importantly, let them know that you are a true friend, that you still love them, & that no matter what they do, you will always be a friend. A true friend will not pretend to approve of something he or she knows in their heart is wrong. they will be honest about it in a loving way. So, it sounds to me like you did the right thing. Just pray about it. God gives better advice than I do anyway!!!

Go up to both of your friends and sit down together with them to explain to them how uncomfortable you are with the idea. You don't accept this idea but you still love them as your own family. You can explain to them that you not very happy with what they did because it's against the Bible. However, you got to remember that no one can control anybody's action, thoughts, deeds, etc. as they've got a choice to make just like how God gave us the choice. Before you talk to them, pray to commit this situation to the Lord and ask God to give you the wisdom to handle this situation. God bless.

I believe you did the right thing completely. Though it was fake, it is still not something that should be done. I think your friends should understand that what they did is not what Jesus would do. They say you are being more holy than they are. Well that is true but not bad at all. It is not like you are trying to be superior than them. You are listening to God and that is a good thing whether your friends like it or not.

I believe too that you were right.
Homosexuality is not something to joke about... it's sin ! it's a very serious matter !

And i know how you feel... All my non-christian friends at school do pretty bad things, and generally they know i don't like it. I find what they do is disgusting but I keep loving them and praying for them.

I think that it could be a good thing if you could explain them clearly your stand.
