Why support hate, judgment and not treating all people with respect and love? He can say he loves Jesus but not the position Jesus would take in my humble opinion. Taking Bible verses out of context is not what the Bible was written and inspired for.
What Bible verses have been taken out of context?
Why would anyone treat another person hatefully? I treat everyone I meet with respect and love. We tangle in these discussions, but we are all attempting to provide our opinion on what is morally right and wrong.
Sexual perversion, from God’s description, is a perversion. I can’t change God’s meaning of that. The union of a man and woman mimic the relationship, as a bride and groom, of Christ and His Church. That is spelled out clearly. So not taking it out of context.
In regards to loving the sinner, I hope I am loved.
When a child does wrong and is disciplined by his parents, do they hate the child? No. There is consequence.
God states many things very clearly, in regards to consequence. Taking His Word and attempting to make our desires fit is wrong. If we say He didn’t mean it, then we call him a liar. He’s not.
As His creation, He set rules of behavior for us to live within His standard of decency. He loves us enough to provide His Word to teach us and loves us enough to apply consequence to our sin, as does a father to his son.
Discipline and consequence are not hate.
So to move forward in this conversation, what scriptures are being taken out of context? We can discuss that. God’s Word spends a great deal of time training us to live a life that allows us eternity with Him. He meant it.
But “feelings” on what you and I want God to mean is not a good place to start.
God hates sin, not His creation.
Judging the value of sin does not mean the person is hated. The sin is hated. We are not defined by our sin, but sin can destroy us.
