As we are now in this world.Many christians don't even bother to know whether is closest friend is a believer or unbeliever...
.
Some even choose an unbeliever as their partner and mentor without knowing that they are diverting their spiritual life into an unspiritual life...

Brethren, Is it right/good to have close friendship with an unbeliever as a christian?

Started from the Bottom now im here.
FTC for the 1st time.

Jesus played with the unbelievers

Do not be unequally yoked.....na so bible talk am.

Who is an unbeliever?

Misinterpretation!
Haven’t you seen a CAN president don running guns?

The interpretation is - Associate only with those who do my WILL.

it doesn't really matter...
friends come naturally

An Unbeliever is someone who does not believe on our Lord Jesus Christ. Such a person is an enemy.

Can you explain and link those words regarding to this context .

This exactly is the problem with Christians , Paul clearly stated in the bible that your enemy should be that brother that after knowing and learning the ways of God still do the 'wrong' things , those people should be your enemies .

Please go and study .

How do you intend to win them over? Is it when you are unfriendly to them?

mkpakanaodogwu:

How to know an Unbeliever is simple: you ask the person, do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? If person says yes, then how? The person must have confessed the Lordship of Jesus Christ upon his/her life according to Romans 9:10 else the person believed a vain thing.

The word of the Lord said we should be unequally yoke with unbelivers.It means we should not condone their beliefs, prefrences and lifestyles. for example somebody who is a drinkard, some body who attends clubs in short one who sins. Do we now say because we do not want to loose their friendship we should conform to their lifestyles. We are to love them as our fellow human and to pray for their salvation but not to follow their ways .Romans 12vs 2 be not conform to this world but be ye transform by the renewing of mind so that you will prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God , Ist John2vs15"do not love the world or the things of the world.if any loves the world, the love of the father is not in him".

2 Corinthians 6:14-17King James Version (KJV)

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Lol. Calm down. I want to ask you: can you stay in the same house with any member of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram? See, you crush an enemy. It's either they are with us or they are against us. Either light or darkness. Either friend or foe.

The Bible urges us not to be "unequally yoked together with unbelievers". Most of ♍Ɣ close friends are muslims, Wε share things in common & respect eachothers religious belief. The day any of them disrespects ♍Ɣ God is †нε day I'll put an end to †нε closeness.
To be sincere, they're far better than some of ♍Ɣ Christian friends...as long as it doesn't affect ur relationship with God, I see nofn wrong in that

Ok

Me I don't really care some of My friends are Muslim, we just respect each others fate.

No but dont also make malice with them

It is advisable not to be close friends with unbelievers, reason being that one may be influenced negatively; this is why the Word of God in 1Corinthians 15 : 33 says that BE NOT DECEIVED, EVIL COMMUNICATION (COMPANY) CORRUPTS GOOD MANNERS.

Its nt gud n its nt bad either bt such friendship shuld av limit. Since u knw dat person is an unbeliever don't completely avoid such person. Just ensure u don't get influenced by d ways of life of such person. U may be d one who'll win her to Christ because she may get to admire u if u av a gud reputation n always tell such person abt d love of God

Happy Sunday!

Yes o! By so dwin u hav d chnc to win dir souls 4 christ. Bt such relatnshp shud be closly mnitrd to avoid d oposit.

Yea
