Default Help me out

i'm relatively new to this forum, so what shall I do if I get a 'Friendship request' in my message box from someone wanting to be my pal IF their screen name indicates they're nonchristian?
Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered, but the Bible tells us we're not supposed to hang with nonchristians, so I'm in a dilemma and wondering what I should do?

Where does it say in the Bible that you cannot have non-Christian friends? Is this your view of what Jesus taught?

I'd add them as friends. We are supposed to love our neighbors and not just our brothers and sisters in Jesus. I am not trying to criticize you, it is your decision- follow your own beliefs.

You realize that the Pharisees got on Jesus about hanging around with tax collectors, don't you? Jesus also got in trouble for helping out lepers. We are told to emulate Jesus.

If you have a system of beliefs that causes you to not be friends with someone, merely because of a difference of opinion, Than is your belief system really worth it?

Even though I find nonchristians to be boring people I'm still polite and hospitable to to them, but when it comes to actually wanting them as friends, no way ho-zay!

Then you might want to find a forum that supports your exclusionary, elitist beliefs.

Being friends with them here on the RF isn't the same as hanging around with them in person.

It goes deeper than that; for example suppose I accept a friendship request from a Satanist, he/she can then go round telling people "I'm friends with a Christian, see they don't think we're such bad people after all!"
