denouncing sin



"Thus a reasoned denunciation of homosexual behavior and all other attempts at nurturing and justifying homosexual passions is not, and should not be construed as, a denunciation of those victimized by homosexual urges, since the aim is to rescue the true self created in God’s image for a full life." ~ Robert Gagnon, The Bible and Homosexual Practice, p31

And as always, I think we could substitute the word sinful for homosexual and still be spot on.

Denouncing sin is not hateful; it is loving. Doing otherwise is sub-Biblical and failing to love as God loved.
