What are the consequences of hating the sinner and not the sin?

Question

There is a saying that goes: "Hate the sin, not the sinner."

It is said a lot, so it must be a mistake that's made often.

Being oriented in any situation is something that you can use to make progress or overcome problems.

Answer 1

when a child behaves badly, we as parents tell them that we are unhappy with their behavior, but we will always love them no matter what. We may think we hate someone, but in reality, we hate their actions, or their beliefs. Usually, we hate things about people, not the actual person.

If you judge others (which is what hate really is) then you yourself will be judged. It's the laws of attraction...what you put out there, you will get back.....don't judge unless you have walked a mile in somone elses shoes.

Answer 2

Hating the sinner is a horrible mistake. It would be a sin itself almost. By hating the sinner and not the sin, we make room for mistakes in our lives like a repetition of the same sin over and over again. By not hating the sin we do not recognize that it is a sin at all, but only an action that is done. Our minds will continue to believe that it was the sinners fault and will never think that it is actually temptation's fault.

Answer 3

You hate the sinner because you hate the sin he hast committed, but if you do hate the sinner instead of just hating the sin then you might come across a similar situation in which you're hated for a sin you committed unintensionally, or under pressure.

Remember: "What Goes Around Comes Back Around."

So learn to hate the sin, but forgive the sinner because then you'll be forgiven for your sins too.

Answer 4

May be if you take religion out of the equation it will be easier to under stand
When something really bad has happened to us, its our nature to feel anger and hate .These negative feelings are more often directed toward a person because we want whatever caused us pain to feel what they have done and make them either suffer or feel guilt and an event or object can`t do that
the thing is while we feel like this what were achieving is the opposite of what we want
the person who our hate is directed at probably doesn`t know or care about it and feels nothing from it .but to the one giving it out its like being poisoned and this bitterness and hate will grow until it as good as destroys the person who we were .
The only way to move on is to direct the anger at the sin and then let go we have to do this for our own well being
A lot easier said than done i know but its the only way fore ward

Answer 5

I've never heard that saying.

My philosophy is don't hate anything or anyone; love everything and everyone.

Whatever thought and feelings of hate you release into the world, will return to harm only you. There's a saying (which you've probably never heard) "Chickens always come home to roost." There's another that says "You reap what you sow." Both of these mean that whatever you put out, will come back to you.

So if you do hate the sinner, hate will come back to you and becomes the experience you have in your life. Put out joy and love, and joy and love will come back and become your life experience.

Answer 6

You want to see evidence of what happens when a person begins to "hate the sinner and not just the sin", take a look at this disgraceful video.

I just want to say that I in no way, shape, or form approve or agree with the terroristic, hate-filled, and homophobic attitude of the people in this video. I am simply showing you what happens when people forget that Jesus the Christ - did not discriminate against ANYONE.

And IF the L-RD G-d hated any humans, He would not have given us a way to have our sins forgiven or eternal life.

Answer 7

If you hate the sinner and not the sin, then you become the sinner (and sin).

Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God with all of our heart, and then to love one another. Therefore hating anyone goes against what God said and is a sin.

Answer 8

The outcome would be mayhem. Hating sin and not the sinner can lead to reconciliation..

Answer 9

God wants us to love one-another.
If someone sins, we do hate the sin, especially if that sin hurts us. We are not supposed to hate anyone but Satan.
Being "orientated" will not protect one from the sins of others!
There is nothing new under the sun!!! Read The Bible!!!
Save your soul. God has offered eternal life with Him in Heaven. You have free will, and it is very sad to me that you are using your "intellect" instead of using God to help you solve your problems. God takes care of my problems.
I love our Heavenly Father!!! He is awesome and He answers my prayers very quickly.
Good luck and may God bless you.
P.S. For the own good of your soul, read The King James version of The Bible and The Lost Books of The Bible.
Get to know God and Jesus Christ. Pay attention to what God and Jesus Christ said. Your very soul depends on it.

Answer 10

Is a good maxim and wowrks for to hate the person eats at your soul and is destructive. You want the person gone and out of your life so to hate keeps them in your heart. To hate the deed is best........because it does not last and life goes on.
