What is wrong with “hate the sin, love the sinner”
“Hate the sin, love the sinner” seems to always end up “Accept the sin, be indifferent to the soul of the sinner.”
There is no allowing of hatred of sin in this culture. Feelings trump everything. If a person feels they want to sin, God and his messengers are ordered to overlook it. Scripture must be condemned. Everyone must be made to feel good about their sin and its effects on the rest of the world.
To hate the sin would require a return to a complete non-acceptance of it. There is no loving of anyone that aids and abets their slavery to sin.
Those who can’t completely comply with the demand to end all talk of sin are given little slogans to help shut them up: Hate the sin, love the sinner. It is just one more tool used to control and change. But make no mistake, the meaning of love and hate must be entirely redefined.
That line is biblically indefensible imo. Not only did Jesus warn us to beware of the "teachings of men” in Mark 7:7-9, but please consider the following.
Matthew 18:15-17 shows that Jesus taught Christians that they they must ultimately expel unrepentant sinners from their congregations. In fact, this is evidenced by 1 Corinthians 5 where Paul chewed on the congregation for not expelling a sexual offender. Note that 1 Corinthians 5:11 tells us to not even eat with such people.
