Yes, I have used that phrase in the past.  </em>Is this a Biblical statement?  Is it possible?  Is it probable?  Is it right?  Love the sinner/person; hate the sin.  The sinner here would be defined as a person who has not come to faith in Christ.</p><p>Let&apos;s think about this for a moment.  Do we have the ability to separate sin from the person?  How can we hate a person&apos;s character and love the person?  Can we genuinely love the person with an asterisk?  What sins are we to hate in the other person?  Sins we don&apos;t commit or all sins?  Sins shouted from the rooftop or sins secretly held in the heart?  <em>Love the Person--Hate the Sin--Really?</em> </p>","author_name":"Dr. James D.
