Excellent post #63.

Carrie Underwood may think she’s operating out of love for her neighbor, but it must be a very weak love. As you wrote, “Telling someone that you support their living in sin is wretched.” Love does not stand by and do nothing while your neighbor self destructs.

As I wrote, we aren’t just told to love our neighbor. We’re told to love our neighbor as our self. A Christian doesn’t embrace sin in their own life, because it’s self destructive. So, why would they embrace destructive sin when a neighbor does it? That is not loving one’s neighbor as one’s self.

I knew an elderly Baptist minister who told me once that if you are not careful you can love the devil himself.
