This is one of the most bastardized phrases used by churchians and one of the most egregiously stupid. Every time they use the phrase it’s not for its actual meaning it’s to pretend you must enable sin because people do it. To churchians false kindness and kumbayah singing is “love”, this modern insane definition is the equivalent of helping a junky OD and calling it “love”.
Love is not cruel or kind, love is doing what’s best for someone. If you love someone they might scorn you for it, but that’s the cost of it. Enabling the sinner is not love, it is sin.
God does not tell you to be tolerant of evil, he tells you to hate evil. You should NEVER celebrate what is unholy, you should denounce it. Pride is evil, homosexuality is evil, living as a transvestite is evil. Any Christian or Church who does celebrate sin as many of them often do with faggotry, is living in rebellion to God’s will.
We should look to the example of Jesus Himself, who drove out the money changers from the temple with a whip (John 2:15). He did not tolerate their wickedness and corruption but took action to remove it from the house of God.
Proverbs 8:13 – “To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.”
Romans 12:9 – “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.”
Psalm 101:3 – “I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.”
Amos 5:15 – “Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.”
Proverbs 13:5 – “The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked make themselves a stench and bring shame on themselves.”
Psalm 119:104 – “I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.”
