No, if a friend does you wrong do you hate them, or do you hate what they have done? If a child gets in trouble, does the parent dislike the child or dislike what the child did?

Surely it's the opposite.Jesus & the woman taken in adultery. Did He approve of what she had been up to? No. Did he love her? Yes. He said: "let he who is without sin cast the first stone. The crowd melted awy. He was the only person qualified to throw a stone, and He didn't. He said to her "go and sin no more". hope this helps

No. God has made clear what is a sin and what isn't. Christians base their belief system on what the bible says. When we see someone sinning, instead of judging, we are to hate the sin but still love the PERSON commiting that sin.
I think you already knew the answer to the question but wanted to post it anyway to stir things up.

let me answer it this way- I do not know if you are a parent or not, but I will use this example anyway. If your child did something that was wrong- would you love what they do? Or would you love them, but discipline them and tell them what they did was wrong? If you let bad behavior go, that is not being a good parent. Tell me what is judgmental about that?

I'm judging the sin. I'm not judging the sinner. I was lost in sin one time myself. Now I have the righteousness of Christ in me. Not my righteousness, but His. The only goodness or righteousness in me is Christ Jesus. Now, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Not at all and neither is saying "God bless you" but all the atheists think that is being judgmental too. In reality you atheists think everything a christian says is judgmental so tell me who is really the one doing the judging?

Yes, it does. It is very difficult not to judge; however, one can keep one's judgments to oneself, especially if the activity doesn't really harm anyone else. (Being offended doesn't mean you are being harmed) People who are alcoholics or drug addicts really need our help and sympathy. We don't just need to get them away from their addictions; we need to help them overcome whatever has driven them to that addiction. Also, everyone needs to realize that every person has had a different life experience, and keep that in mind before he/she rushes to judgment.

How does that sound judgemental?
So what are you trying to say that you should hate someone who accidentally cusses. No you shouldn't so actually you are bing judgemental. God hates the sins you commit but he still loves you.

Only because "sin" is determined by society and "sinner" is determined by hypocritical religious leaders.

It is called "DISCERNMENT"
one can act inappropriately and this can be disliked. (the term hate is unnecessary)
But they are still part of the same ONENESS of all that is and therefore should be loved as they are part of you and the Source of all creation.
