"Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin" is not Christian

This is my brief response to the idea of "Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin." I've heard this response, over and over again from many Christians. And it's taught quite often in Evangelical churches. Unfortunately, this idea of "loving the sinner, but hating the sin," is not biblical, nor is it compatible with Christian teachings.


NOTE: If you post any of the clobber passages (including, but not limited to, Lev. 18.22, 1 Cor. 6.9-10, Romans 1, Genesis 19, etc.) as a comment, I will delete it. As I mention in this video, I have heard these passages over and over again, I can recite them word for word. Therefore, I welcome you to leave responses that engage the topic at hand. If, however, you would like to know what my responses are to these passages, you can visit my blog at http://vincentcervantes.com and click the "Bible" label and you will find my responses.

@keepingitreal15 1. My penis also fits perfectly into an ass. 2. I don't recall Jesus being part of the creation story.

It is NOT a sin to be GAY! Love comes in all forms and has no limits. If you (christians) would read the bible in its entirety you'd know exactly what those verses were meant for. Canyonwlkr 's channel clearly explains the versus christians use against us. I reccoment you watch her videos and learn something about the bible.

Listen people, those exact words may not be in the bible, but what we're trying to say is that we have to try to be as compassionate as Jesus was. . . Get it . . . Good . . . You Got It.

You're all f*cking idiots. the old testament applies to christians just as much as the new testament does. if it didn't we still wouldn't abide by the 10 commandments. Second, gays are also human beings CREATED BY GOD! to all the idiots that wouldn't know. FYI the devil distorted your sexuality, that is why you are gay. don't blame yourself, so not your fault; i have a friend who got out of it. And thirdly, Jesus saved that prostitute from being stoned 2 death. he loved her and hated her sin.:p

@tenorcervantes It's not in the bible but that's the way Jesus lived.

@tenorcervantes Well actually, it does. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 17:5 "Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began." Jesus is one of the "US" (Genesis 1:26) that God created man to be like. This is the "mystery" that Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 2:7. By the way, this was NOT written with a rude tone. It's simple a reply.

I so wish that these idol worshipping, Moab like people would stop screwing with the word of God. How can I love you and hate something about you? Easy. If a mother has a son who has been locked in prison for murder, does she not still love her son but hate the fact that he's a murderer? Your scripture reference is off!! God loves people, but hates their sinful actions (Deut. 9:18; 16:12; Rev. 2:6 (PLEASE READ THIS ONE); **Rom.12:9**; Amos 5:21. If you are going to quote the bible, do it right!!

"Hate the sin..." is a rough paraphrase of a quotation from St. Augustine. As you say, not in the Bible; but a commonsensical distinction. The full quotation: "Diligite homines, interficite errores; sine superbia de veritate præsumite, sine sævitia pro veritate certate" (Love men, slay error ; without pride be bold in the truth, without cruelty fight for the truth ) (Contra litteram Petil[iani], 1.29.31.

Actually it is scientifically proven that people do have a gene, that they are born with, that makes people gay... So yeah
