Love the Sinner But Hate the Sin? God Hates Both


Many Christians claim they have nothing against homosexual people. They just do not above of homosexuality.

The problem with this is that the Bible does not tell command this anywhere. A link author author notes what the Bible says about sinners, and what God thinks about them. He hates sinners. [Leviticus 20:23, Psalm 5:4-6, Proverbs 6:16-19, Hosea 9:15]

When people have told me they "love the sinner, hate the sin" I always ask they how they make know their "love" for these "sinners."  Do they invite homosexual people to their homes? Do they meet up with them in cafes and listen to their stories? No one who says they "love the sinner, hate the sin" has done these things. They don't really love the sinner.

It seems increasingly true that the weakest point in the faith is the desire to judge to sins of others. A part of the faith has gone out of its way to call out homosexuality. While neither the Bible nor Jesus himself is quoted as condemning it today's faithful feel they are obligated to break from their denominations to find like minded condemners. Do such Christians really believe others miss the hate they project?

It would be refreshing is Southern Baptists, Catholics and the various Protestant brands would decide they have been wrong all along and announce they no longer regard homosexuality as a sin.

This may sound like it is impossible. But, large changes have been made regarding sin in the past, mostly changes that made thing formerly sins no longer sin, and they same can be repeated.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make...

Who Suffers from a "Hardened Heart"

Image
Some years ago on this blog there was a discussion about what the Bible calls "The hardened heart." The "hardened heart" was the explanation given for why people like me cannot accept the tenets of Christianity. We are unable to believe there are floating spirits and gods or imaginary places people go when the die. Now, a prominent Christian preacher and author has given us a way to diagnose the "hardened heart." It contained some surprises.  Rev. John Piper, who spoke about the hardened heart, said we can see this in a person who lacks "ordinary tenderness and compassion." He went on to describe the characteristics of a person without the affliction of the hardened heart. A healthy person displays empathy and sympathy. Those with the hardened heart are like stone. Jesus wanted compassion for the poor. The hardened heart discussion referred to atheists only if they are sinners and then it was indirectly. Sin, Piper said, hardens one's heart a...

Young Women can see Bull$hit a Mile Away

Republicans including their Forced Birth subgroup is bother by recent election results and polling. All show young women going to the left. A poll shows young women are 30% more likely to be very liberal than young men. The link advises the Forced Birth community to give young pregnant women an uplifting message. The message suggested is, "Buck up. You've got this. You can give birth and have a happy life." Another way of saying this is, "It will be OK if you miss work and/or are fired because of the birth. If you cannot make your rent payment, it's OK. Somewhere out there is another place to live. We don't know where but be optimistic."   This is an add on to the new version of the Forced Birth message, "We're for both the baby and the mother." They are not and never have been for the mother. Their message has always been to condemn women who have abortions. Now, the "thoughts and prayers" message, which costs no money, it the me...
