Finally...
Tweet
...some Christians are realizing that the phrase "love the sinner, hate the sin" is a cover-up for flat out homophobia, hatred and un-Christ-like behavior. Brian McLaren referenced this article (written by a Southern Baptist!!) that calls Christians to account for their words, actions and attitudes toward gays. The final paragraph states:
Now is the time for those who bear the name of Jesus Christ to stop merely talking about love and start showing love to our gay and lesbian neighbors. It must be concrete and tangible. It must move beyond cheap rhetoric. We cannot pick and choose which neighbors we will love. We must love them all.
The question now is, what does this "concrete" "tangible" "love" really look like?
