Letter: Love the sinner, hate the sin

I have been wrestling with what I should do as a God-fearing, Bible-believing Christian in response to the series of articles and front-page coverage of gay marriage in The Columbian. We are taught to love the sinner and hate the sin. Society has a hard time differentiating between the two, but God has no problem doing so.

Homosexuality is not a sin, but homosexual behavior is. Heterosexuality is not a sin, but fornication and adultery are. The celebration in the media of both is the same as the front-page coverage of homosexual behavior. I have long since stopped going to the movies and watching much on TV because of the celebration of errant heterosexuality. So I am stopping my subscription to The Columbian.

As Joshua said, “choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve … But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15, NIV).
