Love the sinner hate the sin 05/27/19 (Mon) 21:52:27 96c588 No.4858

Should we love the sinner but hate the sin? Or should we hate the sin and the sinner?

It's nuanced.

God hates the sinner, but he also demonstrated great love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

David rightly hated people in the imprecatory psalms. David was a man after God's own heart, and those psalms are divinely inspired, so there isn't a contradiction between the instruction this action and the instruction to "love your enemy"

I think the short answer is that you hate the sinner, but carefully carefully and biblically define your relationship with the one you hate.

The westboro people aren't using careful systematic theology though, they're just provocateurs for that sweet assault settlement money.

When Christ tells us to love our enemies, He means this as to say that we should seek to place them on the right path by calling them to repentance, which is the greatest love a man can share, to risk his life to save theirs. We should not for even a moment relax our opposition to evil, since this would not be love but hate, to encourage their spiritual death. Ideally, we should be understanding yet unyielding, compassionate but uncompromising.

Psalm 139:19-24 KJV — Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
