3gb,

you ask,

God does love a sinner,

Thats the new testament, have you got examples from the old?.

i say,

HEAPS

Ezekiel 33 11

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?

Deuteronomy 4 29

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul

1 Samuel 7 3

So Samuel said to all the Israelites, "If you are returning to the LORD with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths and commit yourselves to the LORD and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."

2 Chronicles 7 14

if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land

3gb,

there's plenty more examples of God forgiving sin and sinners in the old testament.

Cheers
