You have to admit, the Pastor is right. You come riding into our Church on your high horse, failing to notice the gold brocade carpet, Waterford Crystal and fine joinery, thinking this one of your typical atheist drugged out whore houses filled with degenerates.
Instead of me telling you what I think, I let Gods Perfect Word© straight from the Bible do the talking. Though honestly, I'd say the same things, only not as well.
First, lets look at loving everyone (disgusting, actually)
Leviticus 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and
therefore I abhorred them.
Leviticus 26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and
my soul shall abhor you.
Deuteronomy 32:19 And when the LORD saw it,
he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:
thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psalm 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:
the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
Psalm 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous,
whom the LORD abhorreth.
Psalm 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but
the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psalm 53:5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because
God hath despised them.
Psalm 73:20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest,
thou shalt despise their image.
Psalm 78:59 When God heard this,
he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
Psalm 106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that
he abhorred his own inheritance.
Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Now, lets consider the act of Judgement and who's who and what's what.
Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
Proverbs 31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
1st Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1st Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1st Corinthians 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1st Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1st Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?.
1st Corinthians 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1st Corinthians 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
1st Corinthians 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
(
Notice in particular 6:5 where Paul urges us to Judge fellow "brethren" rather than leaving it up to civil authorities.)
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
Now, if you think this is all wrong, you should not be preaching to the choir, you need to take it up with 'the guy upstairs'
