I have a friend who is letting her brother live with her because he is a useless piece of flesh who can't keep a job and nobody else in the family will help. And despite all that, his sister loves him enough to keep him off the street by letting him live with her.

If you care that much, ask the Christians around you whose opinion you value and use that as a gauge. People on the internet will likely never know the difference.I'm not here anymore.

Originally posted by Carrikature View PostI always found it impossible to figure out what's going to be a stumbling block. My wife/girlfriend-at-the-time wanted to live with me in college. We weren't sexually active, and no one thought we were. None of our Christian friends understood why I wasn't ok with it. My parents definitely wouldn't have been ok with it, though hers was. I did have a housemate of the opposite sex after that, but even my more-conservative-than-most parents didn't care about that.

But if you're determined to avoid what Pharisiacs call wrong, you can probably eat safely at Perkin's or Bob Evans or Denny's or Golden Corral or any fast food joint or your local diner, off the top of my head.
I'd appreciate it if you came up with a better analogy.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
