A situation where the person who has helped you through bible study and being a better christian is constantly talking about how good she is in bed (to males online), constantly flirting and making sexual comments...

It is upsetting because I looked up to her...I do not want her to think i'm judging her but what she is doing is not right...what can I say...what do I do?

I know in these situations, that we must be very careful and approach the person in LOVE.. I know that when things are like that, I pray for the person.
Is it possible that when your online together the conversation could be turned into something besides that.
I know that I wouldnt want my friend to stray and would want to bring her back over with me.. Ill be praying that God will lead you to the path that will make it easier for you to talk to your friend.

The scriptures speak of a situation when you know of a "brothers" sin, one that he regularly commits.. You speak to him about it (what she does and how it's against what you both belive.. do this with honor and respect) and if it continues then take another brother and readdress the situation.. and if she still continues then take an elder or someone you both would agree that would be a spiritualy mature... and if she still insistes on this behavior then let her go.. your instructed to let her go on her own way.. this isn't a selfrightous move at all, God knows that if we "his childern" are left to our own sins long enough then we tend to find our way home..

Pray for her, and about how to approach her.

"Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted." - Galatians 6:1

Don't water down the fact that she's sinning, but don't make it sound like a personal beef. If she's hostile to that, get another trusted believer in on this, as Jesus said. If that doesn't work, get the pastor involved.

"“If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector." - Matthew 18:15-17
