We are called to love each other. Love means - show kindness, compassion, help when people need it, offer hope when people need it....this does not mean we have to love all the things people do (or even like the person, really). We all tend to want to dislike people who anger us or who think dramatically different than we do, but we can show love without being their best friend.

Not at all. I love my husband and children but sometimes I don't like the things they do. And it's the same for them, they love me but don't always like what I do. Just because someone I love messes up doesn't mean I will stop loving them or hate them for it. And when they do something wrong, I have no problem what so ever telling them that I didn't like what they were doing.

In many cases this is true, because so many religious organizations have certain ways that you must live in order to participate in the church is some way. Single pregnant females not being able to teach Sunday school to a Mormon who drinks caffeine not being able to enter the temple. That my friends, is the definition of a cult.

NO WAY!!!
That like when parents say" Little Johnny, You are a BAD BOY"
NO LITTLE JOHNNY ISNT A BAD BOY, WHAT HE DID WAS BAD! or " Little Susie, You are STUPID!, Why did you do that?"
NO, LITTLE SUSIE ISNT STUPID, WHAT SHE DID WAS STUPID!!!
SO, Yes Love the sinner, Hate the sin.

No, I don't. I've known alot of people in my life that I truly love but I hate the way they live their life because it is destructive to them and the people around them.

No I think its just as said.Thats kindness to seperate the 2,realizing the person is worthy of love,but not the actions.

Far worse than that, ferret. You are actually encouraging them to continue. Do the math:

Of course, that's a way of pretending to be forgiving and righteous.
