Hate sin

i read in the newspaper today an article by a muslim. This person was saying that Peter ostello is harsh on muslims but not catholics. The article is basically about catholics and muslims not accepting the secular but how costello only has a go at the muslims.. The author also draws parallells between George Pell and the Sheik Hilal. While i dont agree with alot of the article it made me think.

Muslims tend to get pretty upset when someone has a go at their reigion or their god. Im reminded of the catch the fire ministries guys, and even times when radio people have been made to appologise to muslims. It can be seen today that you cant tease or mock Islam otherwise you will get in trouble from either the law, the community, or from angry muslims...

Then we look at what is acceptable in society. Look at how many movies and tv shows reguarly use Jesus name in vain. Its a swear word. A quick listen to any of the last few comedy festivals and you will see that there is always atleast one comedian who bases an act on mocking Christianity.

I believe as Christians we have dropped the ball big time. Not just on things like using the Lords name in vain but especially in social justice issues. These are all problems of sin. Even in many churches theology is turning liberal making sin not to be as bad as what it once was. Is the reason why it is acceptable because we allow it or because we're forgiving? It doesnt matter.

Jesus said its better to lose an eye than go to hell, He also said that whoever causes a kid to sin deserves to be drowned! Paul speaks about hating even the clothes stained by sin. Sin is bad. As Christians we should hate all sin!

We should hate social evils like alcohol, drugs, human trafficking, prostitution, sleeping around, unfair laws, not worshiping Jesus etc Theres so many I cant list them all...

Anyway, the article made me think, we need to hate sin more.
