Hate the sinner, I think not (a lesson in Scripture)
Ephesians 2:8 Paul stresses that saving faith is a gift: “By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, so that no one may boast.”
Love for Enemies,,
43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbori and hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Our resident is spiritually deaf and blind. Ignorant of truth. Feel Sorry for him, pray for him. But don’t hate him, for where there is hate, Christ isn’t.
“Ignorant of truth”
Wrong. Many are not ignorant of truth. They know exactly right from wrong and good from evil. They choose evil.
Now what do men do about evil other than pray and/or love?
