The most loving thing a Christian can do is to rebuke the sin in someone’s life and then point them to Christ as their salvation. Agree and the rebuke must be done in love. Rebuking someone's sin any other way simply turns that person away from Christ.
I personally don't want to be responsible for turning someone away from Christ because I failed to love the sinner while hating (and rebuking) their sin.

So if you can’t do it with love, don’t do it? You just don’t want to take the chance of offending someone do you? Offending someone to correct them IS AN ACT OF LOVE.
