We are allowed to beat our children to save them, but can I beat my brother?

[godisamazing]

Holy Scripture states we are allowed to literally "beat the sin" out of our children and they will not did but be delivered from Hell.


...but are we allowed to beat our siblings if they are evil? My brother bullies me for being a Baptist. He is an atheist and has bullied other Christians like me... He is no different than


I do not want him to burn in Hell even though he is mean. I want to help him because God teaches us to hate the sin and love the sinner.


I don't know though because he might have been one of these people

God teaches us to hate the sin and love the sinner.

Where does God teach that?

You are blessed to receive persecution (Matthew 5: 11) and where in the Bible does God mention loving the sinner and hating the sin?

God teaches us to hate the sin and love the sinner.

How do you reconcile that with the following passage?

Ps 139:21-22 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

God hates sinners. He won't burn sins in hell for eternity; He'll burn sinners.
