How do you deal with a gay friend?

Would you sleep in a separate room from your wife if they had something against it? Would you adjust your life to accomodate theirs on their turf?

No, that is not what I said. There is a difference between "around my family" and "in my home". However; as for around my family, yes, if someone is committing sin around my family then I remove my family. As for the subjects discussed so far in this thread, there is no "what I believe", it is biblical truth. Plain and simple. We are not talking about the clouded discussion of whats said over baptism, one God, or 1step vs 3 step salvation. We are talking about obvious abomination and sin in the eyes of God that is plainly written in scripture.

Yes I would stay with her if were the only place to stay. It is not my home, I do not pray for the annointing and protection of the Holy Ghost over her home, I do mine. And yes, if she requested me and my wife sleep seperatly I would honor her request.

I obviously am not going to monitor their every move. If they "snuck" a kiss or two then they did. I'm sure God honors the controls I put in place that are under my control. Your really just grasping at straws now.
