"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good."
----Romans 12.9 NLT
As a follower of Jesus Messiah I am instructed to:
1. Love others.
2. Hate evil.
3. Embrace good.
So then, not only is it possible, it is commanded of Christ-followers: love people without embracing their broken behavior, like Jesus does.
Tolerance is NOT love. Love does not REQUIRE tolerance.
In-other-words, I CAN "love the sinner and hate the sin" and BE acting IN LOVE toward those whose behavior I cannot tolerate.

Love is non-negotiable. Tolerance is fraud.
Do.Love.Walk.
Liveitwell!
