Friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone, who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. James 4:4 [Spirituality & Religion]

@HairbrushDiva Loving people is one thing, doing drugs and leaving a mate for another is another.

@Carazaa Your question doesn't mention doing drugs or leaving a mate for another is another.

@HairbrushDiva Of course we should love everyone, but God requires us to put Jesus first.

@Carazaa That's simply a matter of belief.

@HairbrushDiva No God requires us to put him first whether we believe that or not. That is in his word, whether you believe it or not.

@HairbrushDiva Exodus 20

[b]"And God spoke all these words:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments"[/b].

@Carazaa It doesn't say that being a friend of the world is being an enemy of God. If God created the world, why would friends of it be enemies of God? That doesn't make sense to me, it's not logical.

@HairbrushDiva The world and God are opposed. It is Gods words in the post James 4:4

God tells us that when the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts we are not of this world, we are a "peculiar people", "set apart" for God.

@Carazaa You've lost me now.
