Re: Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner?
The Bible says whoever calls a person a fool is in danger of hellfire.
People are to be loving towards each other and love them regardless of how they act towards them.
God created all people.God owns people.God is the judge of the world.God can hate the person but humans never can for we are not God.As humans we have to always love the person regardless of how they act and be like Jesus,who even called Judas Iscariot friend when Judas betrayed Jesus in the garden.
God owns people.They are God's property and God can speak out that He does not love them as He loves the righteous,but people cannot do so in the same fashion but must love all people regardless of how they act.
People don't own people,God owns people.People always have to be loving towards each other.
Jesus said feed and clothe your enemies.Do not verbally assault anybody and do not physically assault anybody.
Do not fight for the kingdom of God by physical force.
Love your enemies.
God can make assertions that we cannot for He is God and He owns people.We are mere humans that have to love all people,and Jesus said love your enemy who would certainly be a sinner.
God said He takes no pleasure in the perishing of the wicked.
Matt
