My girlfriend has a friend that is dating a married man. I'm not comfortable going out together with these people even for some social time. Isn't it wrong for me to be with these people, if they are sinning and I know they are? Isn't it like showing my approval to there sin? I'm wicked confused over this.

just to let you know, that the female in this situation has said: "I know that the Bible tells me that this is wrong but I just choose to do wrong." And I haven't passed judgment on these people, but there actions as well as them being friends of my girlfriend have put me in a position to decide if this is good for me or not. This has nothing to do with self-righteousness.

Paul said don't be yoked together with unbelievers..
2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?
All believers are promised and given the Holy Spirit. You can grieve the Holy Spirit doing wrong. This should explain why you feel bad.
Ephesians 4:30 - "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Now you have a realationship between you and GOD. You should prey and ask for help and what to do about this. Perhaps you are to witness?

This is a problem for a Christian. Because you aren't suppose to judge people, because we have all sinned. But then again, it is like you are approving of this behavior. I wouldn't be comfortable either. Because it's wrong. We know it's wrong, but maybe if you share your time with this "couple" there could be a change in their hearts. Then on the other hand, could this be the devils way of bringing you to the other side.
Honestly, honey I don't know what I would do. I don't think I would go. It's so wrong on some many levels, till I feel that if I went out with them, I would be ok with it. I wouldn't judge them, but I don't think I would support them. It's their sin, but it's your sin to show the world "hey, I am ok with it". So, I am afraid I would have to hurt their feelings by staying home. Your girlfriend I hope will understand your feelings, and not get upset. It does say in the bible to avoid people who are sinning, and not to yoke yourself with unbelievers. I am sorry that you are having to make such a decision, and I pray that they can see not only are they hurting them ownselves, but the wife of this man too. Pray about it, and God will tell or show what He feels about this. And I very much afraid it's going to be that you shouldn't have anything to do with this couple. Pray hard and pray strong.
God bless us all...................

Well i wouldn't advise you going out on like a double date with them because ur disapproval of their relationship will show through when ur having a conversation. I dont think going out with them means that u approve but i wouldnt recommend it

I can see where you are coming from. I think first of all you should be on your knees about this. Personally I think you should love them, but let them know you do not approve! but definately Pray about it. God Bless

First of all, it's not up to you to judge others... although your discomfort of being in their company is indicative of your disapproval. Show some compassion by not being rude to either one of them in their presence and excuse yourself to be elsewhere during such occasions.
At all costs avoid being self-righteous but be sincere and honest when you are pressed to explain why.
Peace be with you.

I understand you're upset. But you can't shun them because of that. Remember Jesus said "he who is free from sin throw the first rock". Don't judge.

No one said you had to go out with them. That was your choice..
or did you let your girlfriend push you into going?
Either way, you can always say no.
