Real love says "no."

"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 sinful people and hate sin" and BE acting IN LOVE toward those whose behavior I cannot tolerate. I cannot hate broken people.

Love is non-negotiable. 

Tolerance is fraud.
Do. Love. Walk.


Liveitwell!
