Thanks for posting the reality of the Bible not the liberal PC interpretation:

What happened to hate the sin not the sinner, or is that just a slogan?

Jesus said

"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector." (Matthew 18:15-17)

The Apostle Paul said

"I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people–not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked man from among you." (I Corinthians 5:9-13)

It should be noted that Jesus didn't hate pagans or tax collectors, it just means treat them as one outside the church -- invite them to repent of their sins, accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, and enter into the joy of His Eternal Kingdom. I wish there was a little more of that in our church, Dave.
