Romans 12:9 says, "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." Many so-called Christians use this verse to justify such behavior. They completely ignore verse 10, which says, "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves." They completely forget verses 17-19:
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay", says the Lord.
So, yes, we should still "love" the sex offender as a human being. It does not mean we should love the acts they have committed, or that we should forget the acts they did. They should be remembered as a warning to make sure the person doesn't do them again.

every single living being is a sex offender if just having a thought makes you guilty. so enjoy that catholic lie cause they use it against god to make his heart and head hurt.
yes people are very selfish like JESUS CHRIST AND GOD JEHOVAH the two beasts who wanted your worship.
see sum those up based on this pattern god=g+o+d=7+14+5=2+6=8=h
and see GOD JEHOVAH=e and CHRIST JESUS=g so jehovah is in heaven but jesus is not. and h is the god who is first in heaven and you treated him like the last one on earth, so is it any wonder wars happen.
He this h is the one who vanquished satan but really hated to do it cause satan makes it into heaven also.

M=IVI stitched together
worship no god but ME and ME=IVI stitched together [iL
Lamb SLAIN=Larrib SL A I IV.
thus all things were commanded to praise HIM so even EMPEROR makes mention of HIm as E IVI PER... but probably won't give him much more that 600 dollars a month.
and thus language not about organized crime code at all. god is the reason for any WORD.
so if anyone says code is universal tell them your bible says that means nothing. They tried to say MAY the grace of JESUS be with everyone. But GOD who is the first in heaven said NO because all things commanded to worship Me not some evil code.
if satan was an angel then he is god. cause good news says an angel of the lord is God.
and aI79el honours god's first birthday.

No, that applies to there family, a child only a mother could love
How did the person become a sex offender, the root cause, society it self
Remember someone loves you, and that may be harder that you think

I will play with words on this one.
LOve is not about being gullible and naive.
Loving is not being mooshy mooshy either.
Love is best manifested through compassion, fairness, integrity and standing strong on one's own beleif and comon sense.
In other words: Giving someone a chance does not mean we can let him go unchecked.....
So here is my play of words.
I don't like them at all and don't like what has been done. Yet I can still love, even if it would be the most disgusting feeling inside. It must. Hates only increases those qualities that we despise and that hurt us.

Yes, even to our enemies. It does not say allow them to continue in sin or not to uphold justice. Also it says do not have a close relationship with anyone who lives in sin. But we are to seek to help those who will accept help. Not just sex offenders but all people have sinned and many live in misery. All those who truly know Jesus know what it is like to have their burdens lifted and want to help others.

there is a saying, love the sinner, not the sin. That said, Jesus also expects people to repent of their sins, and to make resititution for those sins.
Loving someone does not mean that we must subject ourselves or our children to the mis-deeds of others.
Matthew 18:5-6
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my aname receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall aoffend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Are we not all "little ones" of our Father in Heaven.
I am happy to see that there is a support group for people who need to stop this offensive behaviour, but you can't expect people to not be cautious, especially when it concerns their loved ones.
Thankfully, it is the Lord who looketh on the heart who will judge, and not man who is imperfect.

That applies to sex offenders. Of course, loving them means more than just warm fuzzy hugs. Love also includes discipline.
If you have been sexually abusive, get help. And pray for forgiveness.....

Yes, we must love them as well. But, love takes many forms, and in this case it would be a "tough love". For if we truly love someone, we do not want to see them in hell.
We must forgive them, and pray for them and get them any help they need to restore their soul.
We must let them know that while we may have forgiven them, they still must face judgement, and if they aren't restored to God through the Blood of Jesus, then they will pay the price, and for them? Jesus said, "It is better for them if they had never been born."
The Christian must make a choice to forgive, and one way to test that is to ask ourselves, "Do we still want them to pay? Or are we going to warn them?..."

Jesus loves all! Including sex offenders. Hopefully, if they have done their time for the crime they have committed, they will change their ways.
God Bless.
