We do love sinners and do our best to help them achieve Salvation©. If we didn't love them, we wouldn't preach to them on how to accept Jesus so they can escape eternal damnation.
Paul tells us...
2nd Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2nd Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2nd Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2nd Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2nd Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
We must rebuke sinners. Nowhere in the Bible does it say we have to coddle them or show them tolerance. People need to know that Christ is the only way to Salvation© and the only other option is hellfire.
