Just because I don't condone the way someone lives doesn't mean I don't love them. I have a close friend who is gay and I love them, but I don't agree with their lifestyle. I believe what the bible says and will indeed let God do the judging. Yes God loves everyone but doesn't but hates sin. Do we all sin? Of course. But the point is to turn away from sin and ask forgiveness. You can't continually do wrong and just expect to be forgiven, we are called to repent from sin, to turn away from it. When we fail, we ask for forgiveness, but we should not blatantly sin just because we believe "Oh it's OK, God will forgive if I ask."
Love
