Bible Note: Robin, Would really appreciate your thoughts on the following in reference to love the sinner, hate the sin being the Christian message. Psalm 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Psalm 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Leviticus 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. Hosea 9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters. Proverbs 6:16-19: 16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. God does not punish sin. He punishes the sinner. Since sin occurs in our hearts and minds, how are we able to distinguish between the sin and the sinner, to hate one and love the other? God his wholly just and able to do so but I’m not so sure that I can love and hate without one compromising the other in some manner. Thoughts? WOS |
