Posted : 17 Jul, 2009 03:41 AM unless it's a duplex home - no. i don't think it's a good idea. why put yourself in the arms of temptation? now, i do believe in having your friend spend a night in your home, but for good reasons: it's late and friend lives far, friend not feeling well, you guys have plans for the next day and must leave very early, and so on.... God Bless, Zoe :angel: Post Reply
donlee1954 View Profile History	livin together.? Posted : 17 Jul, 2009 03:55 AM It depends on the reason, the relationship, and the situation. I would agree that for the most part, this is not a good idea--but I have rented a basement from a single woman, without the romantic entanglements, purely because of the proximity of my work. She felt more secure than living alone, and I was able to save on rent. Post Reply

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS MUCH YOUNGER, SAY 16, I HAD NOT HONESTLY GIVEN MY LIFE TO CHRIST AT THIS POINT AND I WAS IN A SITUATION WHICH RESEMBLES CATTLE'S DESCRIPTION AND LET'S JUST SAY, THE REST IS HISORY AND LIKE OTHER OLD THINGS, HAVE PASSED A WAY. THANK U JESUS.:angel: Post Reply
View Profile History	livin together.? Posted : 17 Jul, 2009 07:44 AM Every situation merits its own end. In general, most of us would not entertain evil thoughts initially. Though, once the initial shock wears off, she finds your company pleasing and comforting; you like the company she offers; and then opportunity is crouching and waiting to cause you to stumble. By that point, it won't matter if she's a Christian or a Pagan or if she's comely or homely. On the other hand, once I'm finished evicting my current roommates, I'm planning to offer housing to two women. One lives an openly sinful lifestyle that she's agreed not to bring back to my house; and the other is a friend's little sister. Neither of them is physically my type, but I don't expect that to stop Satan from trying to offer temptation. Being tempted isn't a sin. But compromising with temptation is temptation to compromise ;-) (which would lead to sin.) Whatever choice you make, may the Lord watch over your home and protect you from the snares of the evil one. Post Reply

Temptation may not be an act of sin on our part, but feeling tempted is. Lusting after another you are not married to is a sin; the Bible calls it adultery. Putting yourself into that situation to begin with is also not encouraged. As always, there are circumstances. If one have no place to live with just a few bucks on and a tropical storm coming his/her way, priority has shifting to caring for the temple the Lord gave you. That's an exaggerating the situation, but you get what I mean. The goal is to avoid, but not to the point of doing more harm than good. Don't walk into a sandstorm to avoid the bar. Post Reply

Posted : 17 Jul, 2009 03:47 PM cattle, it would depend on the individuals, the depth of their friendship. a room mate will most likely see you, be with you everyday. you grow closer because you begin to understand that individual's habits, likes, dislikes, and so on. then you become close friends and trust each other about everything. then on lonely nights or nights of laughter and bonding as friends, temptation knocks on the door. an overnight stay MAY have the same consequences, if there is something more special to that friendship. but on MOST cases, in a platonic friendship, an overnight stay is okay. i'm not referring to cases where friends just want to hang out, but more towards: (1) it's real late and it's a long drive (2) friend feels ill or too tired to drive (3) car pool-we've planned a trip and need to leave really early in the morning (4) had my place fumigated (5) had a fight with a love one.....and so on.
