Hate

I read on Jamie's blog today about a church who is full of Hate. They even go so far as to picket our soldiers funerals and to broadcast that God hates certain people in our country. On behalf of Christ followers who do not act like this, I'd like to apologize to those of you out there who have been hurt by this type of crap. Please don't judge my God by how a few people act. I'm here to tell you that my God doesn't hate anyone .... He is full of love, grace, and forgiveness. He hates SIN but never the sinner. His arms are open for anyone who is willing to give him a shot to love them. He is a God who is Just and mighty, yet he does not single us out and hate us because of our sin. If he did he would hate us ALL. (Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God). We have all made mistakes and though our sins are different we all sin. God does not categorize our sins - one is not worse than another in his yes. So to all of you out there who have been hurt by Christians ... I'm sorry! I really am!
