Loving your neighbor does not mean 'love everyone' because even God doesn't love everyone(2 Chronicles 19:2). There is a small minority of people, both living and dead(in hell), that God has hatred for. The good Samaritan didn't put the thieves up in the hotel. So God here is making a distinction between good and evil: love that which is good and hate that which is evil(Romans 12:9).

Read up on Romans 1, especially verses 20-30 where it's clear that God "gave them up" to "vile affections" to do that which is "not convenient". Paul calls them "reprobate" or rejected. So while all reprobates are not sodomites, all those that are "burning in their lust" for the same sex are reprobate. I do believe eventually all reprobates eventually succumb to sodomy or pedophilia.

I'm not making a call to violence here or vigilantism; the battle we are fighting is a spiritual one. I'm saying we need to protect children from the degeneracy of sodomy by allowing a just government to fulfill Leviticus 20:13.

So don't necessarily feel guilty about your disgust with evil, it means you actually fear the LORD(Proverbs 8:13), which will lead you to wisdom(Psalm 111:10)

I recommend getting in a king james bible-believing church. It's important assemble. If you help spread the Gospel, your love for the lost will increase(but not reprobates).

2 Chronicles 19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Yes, you should still show love to them, Romans 2:1 literally says that condemning these people is just as evil.

Clearly taken out of context. As Christians, we are meant to judge righteously and unhypocritically. Paul is winding-up(over chapters 2 and 3) to demonstrate that the Jews cannot maintain a monopoly on Israel. That simply being a genetic Jew frees them from even reprobation. Reprobate means “rejected”. He goes on in Romans 3:10 that no one is righteous; this is true but there is distinctive difference between disobedience(the lost) and the twice dead(the reprobates, irredeemable).

I’ve aptly demonstrated other verses that God is not pleased with us if we love the ungodly/enemies of God(2 Chronicles 19:2). Pedophiles are ungodly. Sodomites are ungodly. I will though make a distinction between them that “burn in their lust” and those that are confused because they were molested by a sodomite when they were younger, but the principle holds: God doesn’t necessarily love everyone and he doesn’t expect you to be nicer than Him.

Judging righteously/unhypocritically:

Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

God’s hatred:

Psalms 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

Psalms 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Psalms 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

2 Chronicles 19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

Reprobate means “rejected”:

Jeremiah 6:30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.

Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
