Do you have friends who are sinners to the core?
Yes, most of the friends I socialize with are not members of my church. They consider themselves Christian.
As a pastor would you invite a prostitute over for dinner?
Not a pastor
Would you invite a gay co-worker? (Such as my immediate supervisor)
Sure, I have had gays at my home before. I am becoming less tolerant of the lifestyle, because I feel there is a spirit connected with it.
Would you GO to either of their homes?
It would depend on the circumstances
How about spending an evening with a man who did you great harm in the past?
I would hope I could be kind and courteous to someone who had done me harm. But I would not go out of my way to seek them out.
....Or left your denomination?
I have several close friends who have left my denomination.
I am really curious.
