Can a Christian befriend a male or female who practices illicit sex in their lifestyle?
Can they ? ? yes. Should they ? no.
Jesus told sexually promiscuous individuals to "sin no more".

Can Christians have any type of friendship whatsoever with unbelievers (read: sinners)? (This may be in or out of the workplace, etc.)
HAVE communion with few,
Be intimate with ONE,
Deal justly with all,
Speak evil of none.
Not any longer, but this is more a function of how long I've been a Christian and just slowly losing touch during moves and whatnot.Originally posted by john_Mark
So do none of you have friends from before being a Christian?
I have a couple co-workers like this and I'd call them friends, but it's on a fairly superficial level compared to what I have brothers and sisters in Christ at church. I'm closer to them than I am to my own family (RCC) in many ways. I think people are perhaps defining "friend" in different ways. Perhaps we should qualify the word somewhat, or call these sorts of people "good acquantences" or something. But that would sound almost insulting to most people...I have many, but I don't to much with them nor do I have Christian fellowship with them. I trust them to a point and we can find mutual interests in sports, movies, politics, etc. and some of them would do whatever it took to help me if I were in a bind. Should I not consider them friends? I suppose it could depend on the definition.

I really could care less if a guy cuddles a kitten because I was joking! As for myself I would never do it because I hate animals.

Daniel,
Have you ever tied two cats up by their tails and thrown them over a clothes line and watch 'em go at it?
Now that's some good ole southern entertainment.
