Just today I decided to try and find the scripture for that saying. Guess what? There isn't one. It's not a commandment. Jesus never counseled anyone to "hate the sin."
But Christ did counsel us, "as I have loved you, love one another."
I've seen a lot of hate with this upcoming election, on all sides. It's draining. And most of all, I've seen a lot of un-christian attitudes from Christians, with the excuse that they "love the sinner and hate the sin." I think the phrase is used so much, that many forget to love the sinner at all.
So as of today, I am vowing to follow Christ's counsel to love one another. I am going to "love the sinner, and hate MY sin." I am in no way perfect, and I have enough to focus on myself without focusing on others'.
and to bring some cuteness to a serious post, here's a picture of my cutie pie at church.
