I recently was approached by one of my very dear friends on which I thought was a good person till I found out she had been stealing things to support her smoking habit.I tried to over look it but I think stealing is wrong.So am I wrong in wanting to distance myself from them because they are not a good person?I think a good person is honest,kind,caring and considerate of others just to name a few.Thank you for your responses they are appreciated.3 responses

Well she was not good. In fact no one is good if you consider that God considers the heart as well as actions. So perhaps I should say less bad because even though the thought comes that we want to kill someone, or we really want that new Tv and will stop at nothing even illegal, we will not do that horrible thing. So I guess that restraint in temptation is also a category that good or less bad people have. I think you should avoid her because you really cannot trust her and also that if the police come, they might consider you to using stolen goods or even helped her.

You never know about people. Some give into temptation, but I do feel she should have been honest and tell the other person that she would pay them back or return it. But of course she should not have done that in the first place and now you could never trust her.

Stealing is absolutely wrong and if I had a friend who was in the habit of doing so I would have to let go of the friendship.
See I am one to not judge for the mistake, but continually committing the mistakes tells me the person is not correcting their ways and well what is to say that person will not then steal from me.
So I would add some distance from this friend. A good person would recognize their errors and make steps to correct them and not keep doing them.

I think you are wise to distance your self from this person, not because she is bad but because she is breaking the law and could drag you into trouble. On the other side just because she has this habit it doesn't make her bad. All of us have good and bad parts, it's just that her bad part is dangerous.
