I think I know a girl who is a............................

[Quantum Weirdness]

lesbian. She isn't exactly a close friend but I do think of her as one. She isn't Christian though.
What should I do? It's kinda bugging me out.

Unless you know she's looking for help pertaining to homosexuality, don't do anything different than you would any straight person you know. Show her the love and light of God that's in you. And if nothing more, plant a seed, and let God provide the increase.

The Bouncy named man here speaks the truth here.

Remember, because she is no disciple, she is not bound by the ways that we on the other hand embrace. Do not impose Christ's law or His ways on her, she is not under such jurisdiction. As Oingo adequately put, put to use the fruits of Goodness and Gentleness.

Everyone is under God's jurisdiction. Every speck of dust in the universe is under God's jurisdiction. The question is how we as God's ambassadors should interact with those who do not profess to follow their Creator. It's unlikely to be fruitful to dive right in to the high-level, hot-button issue of, "Is homosexual practice a sin?" All that's likely to be heard as is, "I don't like you." So friendship is the first step for you, Quantum Weirdness.

But really, in order to be one of God's ambassadors, you [Quantum Weirdness] would do well to conform your own life to God's revealed will. Your testimony is that you live apart from the body of Christ, the church, and that following God's commandments and talking to him are not a part of your life. You must first become a follower of Christ yourself.

This is wise advice. We first need to ensure that we are following as disciples before trying to change the behavior of others.

I don't deny God's absolute sovereignty of the Universe, but I contend that the Kingdom of Heaven's policy does not involve forced imposition of all of it's norms and standards from those who are not it's members. How to act as God's ambassadors? Amongst many things, to have arms open if an interest to join is expressed, and sensitivity and diplomatic tact for those who have no interest in joining but strive to maintain peace (if possible, cordiality) where conflict is unnecessary and an unfruitful folly. This would make an interesting point to debate in another thread if you'd wish.

But other than that, wise advice given, and here's to hoping Quantum will heed it.
