Why Should I be a Christian?

I agree, what we do to the least of these we do to Him.
We are to embrace not reject!
Love not hate, even our enemies!

So we are to embrace humanities' rebellion against God?

You are a very strange type of Christian if you believe this is true.

I believe I am called to love God and man. I don't believe God gave us a check list of those who are, and who aren't worthy of being loved.

That doesn't mean I am accepting sin just the sinner. I would remind you Jesus died for sinners and we too need Jesus' grace for our own sins.

I try to think of Jesus not the sinners when sharing the gospel. If Je ...[text shortened]... em I believe I should share Jesus with them for His name sake, not because they are good enough.

So you think that it is loving to say that there is nothing immoral about gay marriage.

Where did you see me say that? If you are going to get on me for things I say, than please limit your criticism to those things I actually say.

The same place where you saw me say that you should hate the sinner and the sin.

Did I accuse you of that quote?

You were quoting me and disagreeing with me. Perhaps you can clarify what you were responding to.

Sure looked that way to me, but maybe you can explain it away.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Please explain!

You evidently believed that I said we should not love people when I said we should reject sin. I called it rebellion against God.

Evidently you believe loving non christians means accepting their sin.

Again you are putting words in my mouth. You really should limit your accusations to what I say. It makes Defending myself much easier.
