Haven’t you known someone just like this? He is probably a drunkard and looking for someone to get drunk with so he will not feel quite so guilty himself. He may even be an adulterer and encouraging his neighbor to commit adultery too.
Sometimes it is no more than talking you into getting into a quick scheme to swindle someone out of their money. The best thing to do is to stay away from this type of person. We learned earlier that when we fellowship with someone, we become like them.

1 Timothy 1:12-13 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
People can feel so guilt-ridden by their past that they think God could never forgive and accept them. But consider Paul’s past. He had scoffed at the teachings of Jesus (“a blasphemer”) and had hunted down and murdered God’s people (“a persecutor and a violent man”) before coming to faith in Christ (Acts 9:1-19). God forgave Paul and used Paul mightily for his kingdom.
Lets Bring it Home: No matter how shameful your past, God also can forgive and use you.
