So what if part of our awakening is to learn, to share and to prepare our hearts to love the sinners? There will be many who's entire reality is shaken, who won't know where to turn and we can be there to help them heal. Side note: As I was pondering this on the treadmill I glance down and the time is at 3:16...Coincidence? Love all of you Frens! WWG1WGA!

It’s also a phrase found nowhere in the Bible.
Sorry...
I'm ready to put down the child rapers, torturers and eaters...
with great vengeance.
Yep, totally agree. Recent BardsFM podcast on just that topic: https://www.bards.fm/e/fishers-of-men-20210406
I agree if what we are expecting turns out to be true, it will take a lot of compassion to help people.
We will be in the best position to help and it will become a moral obligation.
For God so loved the world...
The Bible gives us examples where God actually gives up on people and gives them over to a reprobate mind - reprobate meaning rejected. We can see the people who refuse to acknowledge God and continue in their degenerate behavior. We are told in scripture that God will not wait on people forever to come to him and turn from their way. This is where that phrase doesn’t really work, if we see people who are totally depraved in their behaviors and who are also hell bent on corrupting others then probably not gonna do much good to “love the sinner”. The Bible says “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Eph 5:11.
Problem is you are going to turn A LOT of people off by thinking certain actions, especially sexual, are sinful. We are all here fighting for the truth and I think it's important that we stay focused and remember we aren't all super religious.
I don't think you've been paying attention. This movement is very religious. GOD WINS.
If I may, I think that although most religious people would use the phrase, "hate the sin but not the sinner", it does serve as sort of an analogy even for those who are not super religious; in this case being the lefty brainwashed masses who believe everything the boob tube tells them. When they're finally forced awake, they're going to be a bunch of blubbering fools losing their minds. Do we shun them at the point they finally realize but can't handle it, for the fact that they refused to believe the truth before? Or do we love them and comfort them? I'm not so sure it was aimed at homosexuality in this case...just an observation.
