The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned. Fourteen times in the first fifty Psalms alone, we are told that God hates the sinner, His wrath is on the liar, and so forth. In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36).

Damn all false antitheses to hell, for they generate false gods, they perpetuate idols, they twist and distort our souls, they launch the church into violent pendulum swings who oscillations succeed only in dividing brothers and sisters in Christ

Most good evangelical Study Bibles have more in common than people sometimes realize. All of them are committed to explaining the Bible to lay readers.

The New Testament writers did not invent a doctrine of Scripture they inherited it.

Damn all false dichotomies to hell
D. A. Carson
Image
Hell is not filled with people who are deeply sorry for their sins. It is filled with people who for all eternity still shake their puny fist in the face of God Almighty.

Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.

If you want to see what judgment looks like, go to the cross. If you want to see what love looks like, go to the cross.

We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.

The broader problem is that a great deal of popular preaching and teaching uses the bible as a pegboard on which to hang a fair bit of Christianized pop psychology or moralizing encouragement, with very little effort to teach the faithful, from the Bible, the massive doctrines of historic confessional Christianity.
