You know, I hear many people say they love homosexuals, just not their sin. I don't. I loved my niece who was trapped in the lifestyle, but I don't love all homosexuals. I resent a lot of them. I don't "hate" them, but I don't love them.

Love is wanting the absolute best for someone. I love homosexuals. But I also love the innocents that they molest and abuse and sometimes kill (Jesse Dirkhising comes to mind)

If it comes to a choice of letting a homosexual live and putting at risk a whole generation of kids or letting the homosexual die and keeping the rest of us safe, let the homosxual die.

Therefore I pray for them all. God, Please save and change those trapped in homosexual behavior. Deliver them from this addiction and establish them in a normal life. If they refuse to be saved and changed, however, kill them before they drag others into hell with them.

I love my neighbor, but if he attacks my children I will kill him before I will let my children (or other innocents) come to harm.

I do not love the neighbor who attacks children. I don't. I think there is a misconception that "God loves everyone." God hates evil. Humans tend to define God's love in terms of human love; that is, we see it as an emotional affection. That's not what it is. God loved us so much that He was willing to suffer and die in our place. That is the essence of God's love. He wants us to be one with Him. But His love is in no way superior to His holiness. Purity is holisness. it cannot "tolerate" impurity or sin. That is why prior to the redemptive act of Jesus, God separated Himself from mankind.

I believe Christians should hate sin more than they do. I also do not believe in this "love the sinner" stuff entirely. We should act with kindness and mercy, always willing to forgive a repentant heart (though some consequences may remain). That is love in the sense that God loves us, but that is not love in the human sense as it is commonly used by those who say we should "love the sinner but hate the sin." We should maybe "tough love" the sinner. That IS the KIND thing to do.

Myself, I do not love homosexuals. I resent most of them and pity some of them. If they want to admit they are wrong then I would rejoice for them. As long as they continue to live flauntingly proud of their immoral acts, then I both want and need as little to do with them as possible. I would be lying if I said I loved them in the human sense of the word. I don't. I think we sometimes hurt our argument when we claim that we do. Liberals do not understand the concept of godly love, or even tough love. We just look like liars.
