It doesnt matter what she calls herself, nevertheless she is a horrible friend and person sounds like. Whatever she does is between her and God. Whatever you do is between you and God. This sounds like a bunch of middle school drama, your better off without her.

First of all lets not Give Christians a bad rep. we are not all like that. you should not judge a book by it's cover. your friend could be going through a rough time right now. Right now she needs you the most.( Proverbs 8:33- Listen to my instruction be wise and do not ignore it.) When I was in High school my best friend and I had a similar fight. She tried to run my life. I hated her as a christian you are not supossed to hate people only their actions. I would suggest that you try to ask for forgiveness, for your part of the reletionship. We didn't talk to eachother for about a week. One day God gave us the same verse; (Ephesians 4:26- "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,) at that time I did not know that she was being sexually molested by her dad. Try to do what you can you never know what your friend may be going through.If you do your part the blood is off your hands. remember that God loves you. I will be praying for you. I am here if you need to talk.

The best thing you can do is pray for her. Look upon her as a sick person who needs help. Honestly look for your role in some of these conflicts. Make sure you are not playing the victim. Look at it as an opportunity to develop all of the qualities that you want from a friend. Treat her the way you want to be treated. If she continues to upset you maybe you should spend less time with her and focus on building new friendships with people that inspire you. If you really care about her, just pray, pray, pray.

First, remember that not all Christians are like that. I would never, and have never done what you describe to anyone.
Since/if you're not a Christian, you can confront her. All that I would say to her, being a Christian myself, is that perhaps she should remember that in the Bible it says not to judge others.
Tell her she's acting like a...well, you know...and that you're sure that it's not the type of behavior that Christians should demonstrate.
Also, it might be a good idea to read the Bible yourself. That way, you can throw Bible verses at her. That's what I used to do to hypocrites when I wasn't a Christian. Use Romans 14 especially. I love that passage.
Tell her she's a stumblingblock for you, and she doesn't make you want to become a Christian. I'm sure she'll back off.

Friend remember that not everyone that professes to be something really is. Its one thing to say "im a christian" its another thing entirely to live it. Remember God words shows us how we will recognize christians. He said "by this you shall know them, by their love one for another." It sounds to me as if your friend is not really what I myself would call a friend. More likely an aquaintance. A friend would not put you down, a friend would respect your privacy.
If I were in your shoes the first thing i would do is pray for her. The next step i would take would be to sit her down and confront her on the issues that are bothering you. Dont be mean about it but stand your ground also.
If she truly is a friend she will take an account of herself and her actions and will do whatever she can to correct them. If she is not a friend..... then she will get angry and move along. Which is not neccessarily a bad thing if thats the idea she has of friendship then your better off letting her move on until she matures enough to realize what she is doing.
God bless will be keeping you in prayer

Wait until the sabbath... trick her into picking up some sticks. Then show her these verses in the bible:
Num 15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
and stone her!!! Problem solved.

It sounds like you and your friend have grown "apart". You need some space and she needs to back off. You seem to care a lot for her and have been hurt by the change in your relationship. Take some time off and see if your relationship is restored.

Being a christian doesn't mean you're a good person. Dump the skank is my advice. Who needs a friend like that?

This has nothing to do with religion. Are you a Christian? If so should you be judging your friend? If you aren't a Christian, then why are you judging your friend? Sounds to me like neither of you are very good friends to one another.
