I believe that bad behaviour is unpleasant but hatred is more unpleasant than morally bad action and behaviour. Like a child who steals cookies is bad, but a parent who bruises and tortures the cookie thief is worse than the one who steals cookies.
I’ve had practicing bible followers block me, not for being rude, but for making the statement I do not hate sinners or find them disgusting and worthy of punishment. I get hated for my lack of hatred towards others.
I believe Jesus in one of His parables, said that somebody who hates and loathes a sinner is worse in Gods eyes than the sinner who does bad things, of course, this depends on the type of sin because some sins are absolutely worthy of the worst capital punishment you can do against someone, but I’m not talking about serious crimes, I’m talking about people who loathe and curse at a person for giving them u wanted cucumbers on their sandwich order, or people who spend 2 years hating you, for asking their daughter for $20 more than agreed upon during a 6 hour babysitting session etc…
I like Jewish rabbis, because they care about their approach and their social behaviour when they teach Torah, and don’t sacrifice kindness for the sake of theology, I’m very busy, so I only watch around 2 rabbis online a month, but that is why I watch Jewish Rabbis.
