Yes, a Christian should be friends with a homosexual person. This is required by the universal command to love your neighbor (Mark 12:31) and follows Jesus’s example of eating with "sinners" (Matthew 9:11). The friendship should be guided by spiritual discernment, maintaining biblical conviction without compromise, while being wary of bad company that corrupts (1 Corinthians 15:33). The goal is to be an ambassador of Christ's love and truth.

The Bible defines marriage exclusively as the union of a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24). Same-sex attraction is viewed in traditional theology as a real consequence of the Fall (Romans 8:22), requiring repentance and a call to holiness, which for all unmarried Christians (including those who are gay) means a life of celibacy in service to Christ (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Can a Christian support same-sex marriage? We look at the biblical definition of marriage established by Jesus (Matthew 19) and the unwavering command to love all people unconditionally (Mark 12:31). This post guides new believers on balancing truth and compassion.
