Christians what do you mean by it?

Question

Hate the sin but love the sinner. It implies that the person who sins
is not responsible for his sin. So, if a person kills your child--you will love that person--but hate his action? What will you do with him?
Stop him killing more or sue him (not for any other reason but because deep in your mind you hate him for killing your child)? What separates an act and it's actor? If God loves the sinner(who remained a sinner and died with sins) why will he let him suffer in hell for eternity? What is the sign of his love for a person whom you consider to be an ultimate sinner(who died without being a Christian) after that person's death?

Answer 1

Yes, you love the person with a type of love that is of God. It does not mean you take any joy in knowing that person or what they do or did in their life, it just means that you love them enough to pray for their souls salvation.

No one can understand this unless they have the Holy Spirit to help them with this kind of love.

Answer 2

There may be some extensive research needed to help you.

I believe the dogma of church tells you that only Christians go to heaven. All souls go to the same place. Souls are recycled if they need more instruction with a certain evil/sin, like murder. A sinner could recycle forever, which would be like hell since they never get the point that murder is wrong.

The question is whether or not you are disciplined enough to still love someone who has wronged you. It is not your "place" to forgive, as that is a divine function. It is your place to love another person. To hate is to judge, which is also not your "place". If you choose to not sin, then to you it is wrong to sin. If someone else chooses to sin, then it is not wrong to them. To love -- unconditionally -- is ultimate. This is a very difficult level to achieve. But, I believe, that is where God wants us to be.

A parent needs to punish an unruly child. That parent does not stop loving their child. In fact, the act of punishing is teaching the child what is acceptable behavior and, ultimately, the parent is showing love. If there is no love, there is no teaching or caring.

God can't have 100% well-behaved children, just as we will never see that in our families. That doesn't mean we don't love the sinner. We just want to teach the sinner that the behavior is unacceptable in this society.

God will take care of the sinner's punishment. If you love everyone anyway you will be just fine.

Answer 3

Hate the sin but love the sinner. This concerns the Christian value of forgiveness and that we all screw up in varying degrees. When someone chooses to sin, we believe that they should be forgiven, because everyone makes mistakes, it is our way of realizing that they are victims of imperfection just the same as we are. HOWEVER, we have free will, and if someone CHOOSES to do evil, rather than good, they should have to suffer the consequences of their actions. Forgiveness is not a get out of jail free card. If someone murdered my child, I don't know what I would do. I know what I should do, which is forgive the person because they are imperfect and everyone makes bad decisions, some evil, however, that does not mean that I would forget, or that that person should ever see the outside of a prison again. When someone truly sees the error of his ways, and truly seeks repentance, God will forgive him and allow them into Heaven. When someone does something evil and they are not sorry for all of the pain that they have caused other people, then yes, their soul is in danger of damnation. God loves the sinner, because we are all sinners, we all do wrong things, but God always wants us to see what we have done, be sorry for the bad things, ask forgiveness and grow from our mistakes. If someone dies without being a Christian, that is between God and the person. You and I cannot know what is truly in someone's soul. It even says in the Bible that people who are not Christian can get into Heaven. (Although, I don't recomment living like there is no God and then plan on repenting on your deathbed. It dosen't work that way.) I hope that helped.

Answer 4

That's a lot of questions! I love the sinner, because really we are all sinners, just forgiven if we believe. If a person kills my child, it would be hard, I admit. But I would try to forgive, and at least he should be locked up to make sure he doesn't kill someone else. But a sinner still has to pay for their sins, either here as in prison, or God will punish him later. I love my children, but when they misbehaved, I punished them. The difference is, one who dies without being a Christian doesn't have a chance to learn his lesson and change his ways, but he (or she) was warned that this could happen, and must suffer the consequences if they choose to ignore the warning.

Answer 5

Whatever your religious learning, it does not teach you how the sinful nature occupies into an individual's mind. Here, all of us are born alike in the natural form with soul and spirit. A sinner also is born like us. There was no difference at birth. So the sinful nature is acquired, not inborn. The nature occupies our mind and spirit and grows like a tree. Suppose the mind is soil and spirit the air. Through time, it grows and get deep rooted in your nature. This is the way any sin reigns within all of us. Now looking at the man as a natural man and the sin as a tree growing in him, what do you feel. If this tree in him can be destroyed without killing the man, do you think it is better or bad. Jesus looks at every individual this way and so He sees us as a natural man and the sinful natures as acquired. If the acquired part can be removed, we are sinless and that nature is no more in us.

Answer 6

First of all killing is against the law. It is criminal.

So, when a person kills, he will get punishment. He will be responsible for his own action.

On the other hand, God loves that person and doesn't want to condemn his soul to eternal fire of hell. So at least what we can do is to tell the good news about Jesus and the forgiveness he can find.

Answer 7

I'll try to explain the best I can...

God is completely, absolutely holy. He is completely, absolutely righteous. And, he is completely, absolutely just. He serves justice completely, and every wrong doing must go punished. Since He is so holy, even the slightest wrongdoing/sin is completely detestable to Him, and He cannot tolerate it. He cannot be near any sin at all, and hence, when someone sins, the only punishment fitting for it is death for the person. It does seem extreme, but He cannot tolerate it.

Now, He does love his creations however, and doesn't want to see everyone go to Hell apart from Him. That's why He sent His son, Jesus, down to earth, to live a completely sin-free life. Jesus can do this because He's the Son of God, and that's what Jesus did. He lived a sin-free life, and offered Himself as a sacrifice, for all of us. Now, when we die, instead of God banishing us to Hell for having sin, which He cannot tolerate, we can accept Jesus as our savior, and He will replace our sinful life with his absolutely holy one, and God will accept this. God will accept Jesus' death as punishment for our sins.

Of course, the only catch to this is you have to believe in Jesus and accept Him as your savior, if you don't allow Jesus to take over for you, well... then you'd need to be the one with the perfect life, and no human is perfect...

That, I think, should cover exactly why God will send non-believers to Hell, and believers will be granted access to Heaven.

Hating the sin, but loving the sinner, is recognizing that everyone is God's creation, and everyone sins and does wrong. Also, since God will forgive us for every single one of our sins, we should extend that same forgiveness to others. Of course, with extreme cases like yours... Christians would have to do a lot of praying, for God's help to forgive, to not wish mortal harm or any kind of harm on the person, and it would take time, but eventually, yes, the Christian would seek to forgive the other person.

Answer 8

First of all you need to know that everyone sins and falls short of the glory of God. God sees all sins equally, a sin is a sin, and forgives us of all of our sins when we truthfully ask for forgiveness and honestly do believe and accept Him as our savior. We are supposed to forgive others and love those who do us wrong as Jesus did for us when He died on the cross. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice and took upon Himself all the sins of the world. As humans we are not supposed to judge others- leave that up to God. God loves everyone He put on this earth but leaves it up to us to decide whether or not to accept Him as our Savior. All we have to do is believe in Him and will be saved from an eternity in Hell.

Answer 9

God does hates the sinner and is angry at the sinner for sinning.

Answer 10

Hello Mahfuz R.. :)

No..it does not imply that a person who sins, is not responsible for their sin..

It means that we Love EVERYONE, no matter what they have done..or who they are.. :)

I used to be an Atheist..I hated Christians..they were sicky sweet..I could not believe that they could Love everybody..

Until I myself asked Jesus into my heart..then all the hatred and anger I had for these Jesus Freaks..became a Love which I had always longed for..but did not want to have to become a Christian to get it..the emptiness that was within my heart and the pit of my stomach was gone.. :)

For everyone is longing for that space that we try fill up..

Maybe if I get a new home then I will be satsified (it works until the newness wears off)..If I get married then I will be happy (it works until the newness wears off)..If I have a child they will give me the Love I am looking for (but just remember, a child cannot give anyone love), you must teach the little one this, by first giving them Love (then the newness wears off)..

When we were created by God, He always wanted to be close to us, that is why we all have something missing within our souls.. The Holy Spirit that dwells within each and every believer, brings God and man into the right relationship..then and only then, will you understand God and His Great Love and forgiveness for all who ask.. :)

Jesus Loved me..while I was a sinner and He accepted me..just as I was (a druggie, whore, child abuser, mean, dispiteful, angry, hateful, venegeful) human being..I did not have to try and clean up my act..He cleaned it up for me.. :)

Being a Christian is not for the weak of heart, for we are persecuted, because we believe in Jesus..I have been spit upon, punched and kicked and called names, but I still Love them..for I used to be just like them..

If someone killed my child, yes, I would and could forgive them..

For God showed us this example: He had to watch His only Son Jesus die a horrible death on the cross, because God our Father and our Creator, Loved us..He sent His son to be an attoinment for our sins..when we ask Jesus into our hearts, we are thanking God for forgiving us..the Holy Spirit dwells within our hearts and the Spirit of God then resides within our hearts and our minds..so does His Spirit of being able to forgive everyone.. :)

God does not allow anyone to die in hell..We were not created to be puppets..but we all were made with the choice (free will) of whether to or not to believe that God sent His son in our place on the cross..

With Love..In Christ.. :)
