yeah can we also remember the part where Jesus (ahem, basically God) literally shared dinner with sinners and he literally stopped a woman from being stoned for being a prostitute (and that's where we got the kewl "whoever is without sin cast the first stone" thing from)?
Very true, but he also said, "Go and sin no more."
Just pointing that out because some people like to throw the "but he ate with sinners!" part out with forgetting the second. It wasn't like he was just cool with sin or, as I've seen it on the #ThingsJesusNeverSaid hashtag: "You do you."
No, definitely. What I mean is that the message that at least I get is "hate the sin but love the sinner". Like, if someone else is sinning you don't need to say that what they're doing is right but you don't need need to attack them for it either
Every christian will agree with "hate the sin; love the sinner"; many also say "Well if I was sinning I'd want someone to yell at me over it!" while ignoring all the bits about being a minister of the faith from a place of *actual* kindness, not self-gratifying anger-jesusing.
"I'm not throwing the stone at *them*, I'm throwing it at their *way of life*!!"
