Mrs. Mad I like what you saying. But please judge this what I'm about to say.
We have a saying, God only hates the sin not the sinner.
Is that Biblical or our own thing?
I can understand the verse, "For God so loved the world [the sinner]..."
That was the time of our ignorance "for the times of ignorance God overlooked", therein is the love of God displayed, but it goes further, He commandeth all man now that they should repent from their wicked ways or parish.
Now why would we just want to see one side of the coin, God is love?
What does the other side look like, should we flip the coin?
"Wrath", "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven....."
And to this side of the coin we prefer to throw a blind eye.
Now Scripture says, "Thou hatest all workers of iniquity".
Doesn't this speaks of the individual and not just their sin.
If so, why would we wanna try to change the mind of God by saying He only hates their sin, not them?
Again Scripture says, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated" (Rom.9:13 comp.Heb.12:16)
Again this speaks of an individual not just the wrong of a person.
