Christians must hate the sin but love the sinner, without exception.

Stop kidding yourself. You are repeating another false doctrine.

God hates both Sin and sinners. He sends both the author of it (Satan the Devil), his fallen angels, and all of Sin's practitioners first to Hell, and finally to the Lake of Fire. God's Bible says so.

Doubtless fewer humans are true Christ-followers than one thinks.

Matthew 5:

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Show us where God hates people, sinners.

Consider these verses.....

Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:10-11 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

If God hated sinners, He would not have loved the world and died to save it and then offered, even commanded, all men everywhere to repent.

Still waiting for the Scripture that states that God hates sinners.
