THE CHURCH LIES THAT IT BELIEVES IN LOVING
SINNERS AND HATING SINS
The Church says we must wish only good on the sinner and wish only evil on the
sin. This is its infamous love the sinner and hate the sin.
That is not what it's Bible says. God hates the unjust as if they are personally an abomination. “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD" (Proverbs 17:15).
Psalm 137 is a prayer that God will take revenge on the Edomites and empower his people to kill their babies. It is argued that God inspired a man to tell his feelings but does not imply that God approves of what he was expressing. But does that argument really make sense? A man will not declare that God can and will bless the killing of children which implies knowledge that God agrees with him and turn it into a hymn for God's liturgy unless that man thinks God is inspiring him.
Matthew 5:13 has Jesus rejecting love the sinner and oppose the sin as nonsense. “You are the salt of the earth. [You as a person] But if the salt loses its saltiness [saltiness what salt does], how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."
The person who does no good is worthless in this view.
Titus 1:12 uses hate speech against Cretans.
Religion that tells you to believe the Bible is
indirectly telling you to hate the sinner with the sin.
The religious teaching that we must hate sin and be eager to destroy it but must
love the person who commits the sin sounds good but it rings true for nobody. It
is just a statement that is easy to say - it drips off the smug tongue. It leads
at best to confusion about how to evaluate, see and approach the sinner. It
leads at worst to hate that is masked as love. If it leads you into confusion
then it does not help you love the sinner at all. If love the sinner and hate
the sin is a lie, then those who preach and present themselves as practicing it
are frauds and hypocrites. Their claim that they do it is a boastful lie.
Arrogance is no foundation for love. The more one practices such arrogance the
more one feeds the hate and nourishes the passive aggression, the grudging love
of the sinner that is not love at all. It leads to hatred towards people who are
honest enough to admit that loving the sinner and hating the sin is nonsense.
If you want to be good at abusing and hurting another person, tell them you do
it because you love them.
If they believe you, it is then and only then that you have power over them
Your innate qualities show in your behaviour. You can't be a sinner because you
sin but you must sin because you are at least partly a sinner. Whoever says that
they condemn your behaviour, and not your innate qualities are being pure
hypocrites.
If people really want you to understand the sinner, why don't they say that we
should not judge paedophiles or sadistic murderers unless we are paedophiles and
sadistic murderers?
If you sin, you deserve to suffer and be hurt for your sin. Deserve means you
get what is your fair due. Loving the sinner is not going to help them - it only
helps you be smug
Catholicism is using its boast that it can love the sinner and hate the sin as
an excuse for looking good while encouraging hate towards persons. It is Church
teaching - ask it! - that our actions define us, and we can be held accountable
for them. We are accountable for our actions - our actions cannot be accountable
for themselves. Thus the sinner is the sin. The Church agrees with the Batman
line, “It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” Thus the
Church is lying that it loves sinners and separates sin from sinners to hate the
sin.
The notion that sinner and sin are separate contradicts the Church's own
teaching on free will.
You may say human beings have the power to create good or sin by their will
without being programmed etc. This is the doctrine of free will. Free will means
that you use yourself to make evil or to make good and turn yourself evil or
good as a person. You are your will according to the free will doctrine so if
you make it evil you are evil. Free will contradicts love the sinner and hate
the sin. It is absurd to say sin is dangerous - it is the sinner that is
dangerous. Fear of the sinner leads to hate. Fear is the reason a person may
hate another person.
The Church tells a deliberate lie that fools some. It says that if somebody is
seriously sick you hate the sickness because you love the person. So it pretends
this idea supports the notion that you can judge and hate a sin and love the
sinner. But sin is deliberate. Sin may be described as a sickness in a sense but
it the problem is not that. The problem is that it is deliberate. If sinners are
sick then they need pity and help and should be forced into Heaven against their
will for they don't know what they are doing. Punishment would be a sin and the
evil person and the good person should get all the same benefits as if both are
saints. It is twisted to use the suffering of others to justify a hypocritical
doctrine.
The truth is the Church does not believe in loving sinners and hating sins at
all - it believes in hiding its hatemongering.
We do not make a separation between the person and her good works so why should
we make one between her and her sins? And how could we anyway? And a sin is not
an entity that is separate from the person it is part of the person for sin is
in the will and the will is part of the person, one of the main parts. Sin is
the will and the will is the person so the person can be said to be the sin so
to hate the sin is to hate the person who commits the sin as well. Sin is evil
will that is expressed in an act and is not the outward act. Thus sin is
shorthand for sinner.
To say you must love the sinner and hate the sins is to say that you must also
separate the person from their good works. That would be a vile and inhuman
stance to take.
The doctrine of loving the sinner and hating the sin is a wilful lie - and a
smarmy one.
Many Christians do not see "Love the sinner" and "Hate
the sin" as compatible. They settle for saying that paradoxes are a
reality and by some mystery God can truly love the sinner and hate that person
at the same time and so can those who are given grace from God to be like God.
They live with the contradiction but they cannot deny they hate sinners.
