If you have a friend if the opposite sex

If you have a friend of the opposite sex, and this friend is at the end if their battle with cancer, you feel the need to go to their home and help them, and the absolutely only place to sleep is their bed, they are drained of funds, please show me from the bible if this is okay or a sin.

its not a sin, but you need another companion to be with you to there, pray together before you go.

Col 3:15 And let the peace of Christ arbitrate in your hearts, to which also you were called in one Body; and be thankful. Shared from Cayosura (her daily bread today )

oops, i forgot this one, sister, you can just go there and visit, no need stay overnight

He doesn't have a couch???

As for your issue, I wouldn't call it a sin, but it's still not a good thing. Sleeping in the same bed with the opposite sex is temptation, and may lead to stuff.

You said your friend is sick, so he most likely won't be thinking about all that inappropriate stuff, but still it's not a good habit to get into. But yes, like what HelenTn said, it would be smart to bring someone with you to care for him.

Otherwise, if I were you i'd sleep on the floor.

its not smart, its a protection, but, really no need to stay overnight sister, if he is in need, fellowship with brothers in the church and bring them overthere

The friend is in another state so one would have to travel to their home state and can't afford a motel for the amount of days it will take to care for the friend. And no there is no couch. And heavens who would be tempted by a near death cancer patient?!?!

If you have an airbed or thicker blanket, you can bring it there and sleep on the floor (IMO)

If he is dying of cancer and near death, the last thing that will be on your minds is having sex, or simply sleep on the floor...

I did say that he wouldn't be thinking about it, but yes I wasn't clear for your side of it. I meant it both ways, that you both would unlikely be thinking about anything inappropriate, I just forgot to add that. Sorry for the confusion.

Although you're both unlikely to think about sex in this situation, I just meant that it's not good to sleep in the same bed with someone of the opposite sex in general (Unless you're married of course).

Just my opinion.

i'm a bit confused. Why would you sleep in the same bed as him? Sleep on the floor with some blankets. If you need some privacy put up some blankets, or buy a divider. People do that all the time

Dear sister eugeniamarie, if he is in need to be helped, you can fellowship with brothers in your church, its better not to do it alone.

They have air mattress that is affordable, and very light to carry around. But if you attracted to him and trying to figure out a way to lie down with him, just tell him. Ruth lie with Boaz.

I use to have friends sleep in my bed all the time... wed have a group of friends over an id go to sleep wake up the next morning with someone in my bed sometimes guy sometimes girl but it never was a big deal jus a friend thing.

I slept comfortably on one of those for 6 months, except mine was a queen size. I bought it for 70 bucks and it came with an electric pump. The one I had was just as comfy as any bed.

Air matresses are like water beds, atleast when i wake up LOL... I'd suggest sleeping on the floor OP, unless this person has a couch. Honestly if they are that sick, I don't see why intimacy would be on their mind. AND, IF it is, it is most likely, right now anyways, pure "mental therapy" and should be avoided. So yea sleep on the floor if you must but not in the persons bed, that line is very easily tempted even though many would like to think otherwise. BEEN THERE bad idea.

Praying.

I could be wrong but why is your friend still at home. With cancer they are usually in hospital with drugs for the pain etc.
I do not know what country your in but this to me seems strange unless your in a second or third world country.

Please correct me if I am wrong, my friend died last year and she was in Palliative care when the end came.
I did not think they allowed you home if your relatives could not care for you. Or you had none.

Hoot owl

You can be home if its your choice to be.... my grandmaw recently died from cancer an she never spent anytime in w hospital she didnt want to.
