God Loves a sinner, God Hates sin, God Loves a sinner, God Hates sin, Sin is an act, a verb, you commit sin, SIN IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE BORN WITH.
my dear brothers & sisters
please forget, for a time, this "God" you are fighting about
unconditional love is a human quality. it was perfected by Buddha, a human being, and later attempted to be introduced into Judaism by Jesus the Student
the mind with unconditional love does not 'hate'. instead, it looks upon the blind world with understanding & forgiveness
Buddha taught properly, with all correctness, that the mind abiding in the Divine Dwelling (brahma vihara) has four qualities:
1. unconditional love towards all beings
2. the wish for all beings to be liberated from suffering
3. appreciative joy for the good qualities of beings
4. equanimity of mind towards karma (including sinful karma), understanding all beings are the heirs to their actions, which are often stepping stones for their individual growth & learning
we are all born with the tendency to sin (as Buddha taught) due to ignorance
but this does not come from Adam. it is merely the genetic material we are born with, what Buddha called 'elements'
close your books friends & instead perceive the reality around & within you
regards
