Before I was born again, I was a friend of this world. I agreed with and supported the actions of the people of this world.
But after I was born again by God, I no longer wanted to be with worldly people. As a Christian, I wanted to be with people of God.
Light and darkness do not co-exist. If you turn on light, the darkness disappears. If you turn off the light, darkness fills the area.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

When we are born again we become light and we no longer walk in the darkness with this world. And the darkness will not walk in light because they love darkness for they are of darkness.
A friend is one who supports you and assists you in the way you are going.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
A woman who is likely a lesbian asked me: "Do you support lesbians?"
It shocked me! I replied, "No ... I don't think so."
(And I sent her the following scriptures from the Bible.)
Romans 1
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

To become a friend of this world, you would have to deny scriptures.
God says:
2 Corinthians 6
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
