Deconstructing love the sinner hate the sinner

from Faithfully Departed: transforming life's wounds into wisdom with a pastor and a therapist · host David Profitt & Sophie Murphy

In this episode, David and Sophie tackle one of the most popular religious slogans: “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Sounds simple and noble right? But what if the very thing others label as "sin" holds the key to our freedom and growth. What if “sinner” was more about social labels and power dynamics than moral reality? And what if Jesus’ willingness to be labeled a sinner himself was the very heart of the good news?Join us as we deconstruct this phrase, rethink how we think about sin and sinners, and discover a Jesus who isn’t in the business of labeling people, but of restoring them.
