He would NOT be manifesting the nature of Yahweh if he loved sinners. Sirach 12:7 says Yahweh HATES SINNERS.

Because he loves us and we all have sinned. We all make mistakes, and just like a caring brother he yerns to forgive us. When someone you love does something wrong, you may be distressed over it, but you don't love them any less do you?
I think the point is to do our best to not remain in sin. He may love the sinner, but not the sin. It's my belief he reaches out with that love, so that we may be enabled us leave the sin and be happy again.

The way that Jesus and his Father relate to man is through love, their true expression to all of the creatures. Man has a nature that conditions him to war against the nature of God and his son. Compassion is a form of love, and one must have compassion on someone that falls into the traps of life because there is an enemy of man that takes advantage of his fallen and vulnerable state. Like loving a child that has limited knowledge and experience but reaches for the wrong things.

No matter what sinners do (meaning everyone) God will always love them. He is always reaching out to those who need help. Even the ones who are pushing him away. Trust me, he has every right in the world to hate us but he doesn't.

I am glad he does, because I was a sinner saved by grace. Plus in this world's eyes they would have stoned me, because of my sins, but Jesus just loves us when the world sees us as unloveable.

No , Jesus doesn't love sinners , that plain bad logic would mean that he would love us more , the worse we behave.
Jesus' message was TO sinners - which is ALL imperfect mankind for the purpose of correcting them in their bad ways and to bring them into a position where they are approved by his heavenly father.
People that keep on practicing sin (deliberate wrongdoing) are NOT approved by God , and No , Jesus doesn't love them , for in fact they are following Gods enemy - Satan.

Because at some point in their lives, everyone sins, especially the hateful, lie spewing televangelists. Jesus was sent by God to wash the sins of every human clean when they accept him as a savior. No human is perfect, that's just the way it goes. Just because someone may sin, that does not make them a terrible person that deserves to go to hell.

If there were no sinners, we wouldnt know what forgiveness is.
and without forgiveness, who could Love?
Jesus want's to teach us to care and love one another thats all.

Because we are all sinners, which is why he gave his life and asked god to forgive us. I am not hugely religious; that's just the way I understand it.
