THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO? - WEEK 2
This week, we continue our conversation series “The Bible Says So?” as we explore the saying “love the sinner, hate the sin.” We discuss the origins of this phrase, why it’s commonly used, and the significant problems it presents, especially when it comes to defining and interpreting “sin” in our contemporary context.
•••
Question for contemplation and conversation:
-
Based on your own life experiences, background, and personal journey, what is your reaction to the phrase ‘Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin’? How has this phrase impacted your understanding of love, judgment, and community?
-
How does the focus on ‘hating the sin’ in others potentially distract us from our own need for personal transformation and repentance?
-
What might a faith community look like if it fully embraced the principle of unconditional love without the qualifier of ‘hating the sin’? How would this change the way we welcome, support, and journey with one another in our spiritual lives?
