God Hates The Sin But Loves The Sinner?
Did God Really say.....God hates the sin but loves the sinner
(Psalm 5:4-6) For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may
not dwell with you. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all
evildoers. You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the
bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

God loves sinners
(John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that
whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
(Romans 5:6-9) For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
- God comes for me not in my attractiveness. He finds me reprehensible yet he sent Jesus to die for me so that he might make me his son.

(Isaiah 43:25) I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
- He will remember our sins no more .
(Isaiah 48:9-11) For my name's sake I defer my anger; for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.
- He has chosen not to hold our sins against us .
