• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

hey everyone, this is my first time on a forum so i dont really know what to do. but here goes...

my problem is that my best friend is bisexual and well aparently a "Christian"...but she keep changing her mind about it. she wants to follow God but then she doesnt but then she wants to be a better person. shes decided for the moment that shes doesnt want God in her life but maybe will change her mind later on. at the moment she is with a girl and this upsets me as her best friend. i want her to follow Christ but well i guess it's her choice. at several points they have almost broken up but then just keep going back out and hooking-up so to speak...if u ask me i think its more of a sexual relationship. and they are so obsessed with each other and it kinda disturbs me. yet i respect her for who she is and if she wants to be that way then thats her choice i guess. i just really care about her and want her to make the right decisions in life, she tells me she knows what shes doing but well she always seems to be depressed about her girlfriend coz they always seem to be constantly fighting and then 5 minutes later they make up again and then the next day the same thing happens. its the weirdest relationship and i know its wrong but she doesnt wanna give up her girlfriend. she loves her too much.

so what should i do? does any1 have any advice? should i just butt out and let her live her own life?? i guess im just concerned for her. but is it any of my business?!? please help

I know it is hard that your best friend is bisexual but the best thing you can do right now is pray for her. I know it doesn't seem like much, but prayer, I believe is the most powerful thing you can do for somebody. Ask God to take care of the situation with your friend and ask him to convict her. She needs to be strongly convicted that her behavior and intentions to be in a relationship with someone of the same sex is wrong.

Continue to be there for her as a friend. That's what I would do. It's not our way to judge. But tell her that you don't agree with her being with a girl, because it is wrong. In scripture it clearly states that:

The Apostle Paul, writing by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, declares that homosexuality "shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 6:9; 10)

I will be praying for you and your situation. God Bless, TrinityGrace

Thanx so much TrinityGrace. I shall do that. Like i guess i have been doing that but after a while its kinda hard to think about God and He just gets pushed aside. i know i cant help her without Him, its simply impossible. maybe i should rely on Him more and not just think He's given up on the situation. i should stop trying to help her myself and put it in God's hands. Thanks again, you're really helpful :)
Love tim

TimmyTurtle,

What should you do? First and foremost show your friend all the love that any friend would. Pray for your friend. If you feel she does not want your help then respect that, but continue to pray for her. Simply being her friend unconditionally loving her, will be the best support she could possibly have.

I would wager that in time she will figure the complications in her life out herself by the grace of God.
