[yatros from flatwater]

Hate is not what Christianity is about. The Bible does not say to hate sin. The statement ‘”Love the sinner, hate the sin” is attributable to Mahatma Ghandi not Christ.

Not sure if this cuts any ice with you, but, the God of Israel has a few issues:

Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look,
a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth discord among brethren.

[Rock N Jones]

These six things doth the “LORD” hate:

My point is very simple. Franklin Graham’s actions are not to incite hate and not to encourage hatred. By saying he is, is false. By saying he is simply plays into the hands of those that claim Christians are hate mongers, which they are not.
