Many perspectives can be found on this statement.
My understanding, original sin was asking woman to live a lie.
Love the sinner, be forgiving.
Very hard to do.
Thomas 114 look at the otherside of the coin
A man would not sit down and take it, but don't do what you hate.
I might file a complaint, but I would never take a physical action of actually destroying another person. I would do my absolute best to be heard, and then I would leave it at that. Sometimes it takes great lengths to get heard and to find that one rock to take down walls to get the other person to listen.
Beware of brothers who like to drop their sheep and ask you to pick them up. They lack following through in taking care of their own. Do you walk by their sheep when they are in need just because they don't want to, no, the sheep have nothing to do with their actions. But if you know about it, let your light shine, speak up.

Unfounded accusations of bigotry are just a cheap attempt to stifle debate and to shut-up people who disagree with your opinions.
Unfounded accusations of bigotry have no place in a mature discussion and debate.
And, being against a certain BEHAVIOR is not bigotry.
Bigotry applies to things like race and religion -- NOT to behavior which is not only morally questionable, but medically dangerous.

God is not a bigot. God is perfect. God does not sin. Yet God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever would believe on Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 and also...ROMANS 5:6-8 NKJ. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
So it is in the Bible... it is not just some wierd idea dreamed up by man... God loves you... even if you are a sinner.

Not really. Think of it in terms of today. You have a best friend that you've known your whole life. You love that person, they are very close to you. But one day, they end up doing something against you - say... they kissed your boyfriend. You're not going to hate that person just because they did that. You'll hate what they did, but not them personally. Kinda works like that.
Or you're in love with a guy, but he starts drinking - a lot. You don't hate him, you hate that he drinks. See?

Love the Corvette, hate the paint job!
It is exactly the same way God views each of us. When we walk in sin, it's like covering ourselves with a really ugly paint job, way too hard to look at. But when we turn from our sin, it's like going down to Maaco and getting redone in a color He would be proud to have in His garage.
This analogy, of course, is way too superficial to be accurate to the 'T', but we need to understand that sin in our lives is like a cancer that just continues to grow until it consumes us, at least that's how God sees it. Nobody wants to watch someone else be consumed by cancer, especially when they are standing right in front of them offering them the cure!

I don't think so. For example, one of my very best friends is gay. In my opinion, homosexuality is a sin... he is very well of my feelings but I still love him and I don't condemn him, he is my friend. Only God can judge his soul.I hate the lifestyle he has chosen, but again, I love him and nothing will ever change that.

How so? It means people hate wicked actions, but not the person themself. I'd hardly call that bigotry.

I would disagree.
You can love a family member for who they are, but hate their using drugs.
You can love a friend for being a good friend, yet hate their prostituting themselves.
You can love a person for many reasons, yet hate certain traits or acts they do.
