It is impossible to Love God and point the finger at the same time.
NOT. I do it all the time...only my finger is pointing at me.

Is 1 Corinthians chapter 13 in the christian bible ?
If only faith, hope and love remain and the greatest of these is love , why talk about sin and sinners so much ?
Christians talk about sin more than the Brits talk about the weather .
If you christians had to choose one or the other , what would you prefer to talk about ,love or sin(the evidence of your choice is posted on here by the way).
Love covers a multitude of sins, it also makes the religious spirit boil with anger.
No one wants to governed by the disease of sin as no one wants to be diseased with cancer , let's share the same love to sinners as we would and do to those suffering from cancer.
Yes i am generalising from what i am reading on here .
Most of us know these are not the best examples of the Christian faith, but they are dissapointingly common. We shouldn't judge Christianity by it, though. And even though it is discouraging, let us not cease our efforts to share the Gospel. Not that you are, but I do want to encourage you to be full of the hope that lies within you as you. In spite of things, God is still for us. "and if God be for us, who can be against us?"
At the same time, I should say that we as directed to judge the fruit of one another. This doesn't mean necessarily we always declare it. Even when we do, it should be done in love so that the overriding emotions are love and respect. The phrase is "love the sinner, but hate the sin" or should I say "love the cancer patient, but hate the cancer." Judging fruit also doesn't mean we ever condemn. Condemnation (consequences) of sin is from God alone.
Hell bent Christianity, and the false "gospel" of the Condemnation of the world, is dying. Its only a matter of time before the plain and obvious shame of the pharisees of our day is made evident even to them.
Well Thomas it is nice to read for once on here someone not condemning a sinner or pointing the finger at them.
Do you have a problem with Paul judging those are called "believers" who commit sin? Not only judging himself but insisting the church do the same?
For example:
1Co 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1Co 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1Co 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Co 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

To be any of these things is to be under the control of them ... a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Someone who is without conscience, reprobate, under the bondage of sin and death in their minds, degenerates ...
Hi, God still loves the those that are enslaved to sin and death, and those who are called brethren that are to be put away for sinful behavior.
1 Corinthians 5
Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the wife of the father! -- 2and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work, 3for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing: 4in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- ye being gathered together, also my spirit -- with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

God bless.
It was a revelation to me when I came to realize that the good Lord loved me as much when I was a reprobate sinner, as He does in my finest moments.
And it was then that I knew the depth of His love for us.
