You were the one preachings just a few years ago.
He's just having doubts about his faith - he's a Christian otherwise.
No you can't actually. If you do you're living in sin. The only excusable way to do that would be to end up marrying the person you're having premarital relations with anyway.
There are people out there doing this though. Also if you're in the west, so America, Australia, etc and there are homeless people, they should be helped yes, but very often they are not following God's instructions to begin with which is why they are homeless. Taking drugs and drinking for example is a sin. Of course, someone who is homeless is most often severely incapacitated and mentally ill and often get addicted to drugs, alcohol, and gambling, etc. So it's not a good situation to be in at all.
You wanna see a true example of the stuff you just spoke about? Go look at the God fearing people in the middle east and Africa who have nothing, even though they bust their ass day in and day out.
Addiction it self is horrible and there's no better way of overcoming it except through the power of Jesus Christ.
And how are you any better? Most Christians would help the poor and needy if they were in a position to do so, but perhaps this might be news to you, practising Christians are not often loaded with money to begin with. Otherwise, most charities that help the poor and needy ARE Christian organizations.

Aramaic Bible in Plain English
Yeshua said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give to the poor and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come after me.”-----
https://biblehub.com/matthew/19-21.htm
people are trying to over-think/mental-gymnastic my post. There ^ it is in PLAIN ENGLISH translated from Jesus' tongue Aramaic?
I will never be able to live up to that. People living the Monk/Nun-life(like Mother Teresa) seem to come closest to that ideal. If you don't FEEL the TRUTH in that you are suffering ARROGANT DELUSION
the Buddhist Monk-Nun living a POVERTY LIFE of SERVICE is probably living a more "Christian" life than the average American Sunday Christian Capitalist Materialist

A little ambiguous......

There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

it's very easy to call oneself a "Christian, Buddhist, Muslim" but it shouldn't be. Just like saying "I love you" is easy, but it should feel very heavy....feel like a great responsibility.
because of this acceptance of "easiness" to declare oneself a Christian or other Religion people begin to give poor representation of their religion.
if one is not willing to make a SERIOUS effort in LIVING the commandments of their religion they should be careful about being evangelical about it and instead be more humble and quiet about religion
we see this WEAKNESS of Hypocrisy expressing itself in PORNwatching and Politics as example. If one is sewing divisiveness with VULGAR and MEAN spirited insults like "LIBtard" or "F00K ____(political candidate)" they are closer to the DEVIL than to God. Same with Anger....the more anger/contempt/animosity one has with others "liberals/conservatives, immigrants, other races(white/black/brown..) and so on" they are growing closer in relationship with the EVIL ONE than with God. God is LOVE. The further one gets from LOVE the closer one gets to the EVIL ONE

The fact that you think God can't forgive someone is blasphemy BTW.

Paul (of the NT..not me)desperately wanted to take the message of Christ to the Jews but God had different plans for Him. Jonah hated the people of Nineveh and wanted God to bring judgement upon them..but God led Jonah to preach repentance and turn from their ways. God's plan is different for us all, but we must all follow His leading of us.

the Bible(Word of GOD) is pretty CLEAR about MATERIALISM:
19“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; 20but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
24“No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
https://www.carolinastudycenter.com/...t-materialism/
anyone arguing different is full of ARROGANCE and DELUSION
....again, I'm not saying that I'm not guilty of materialism and attachment, I'm still too weak to give away everything and live the life of a SAINT like Mother Teresa, Parde Pio and so many others.
19“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; 20but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
