"And Such were some of you"
My thoughts regarding the latest press release from Hillsong Church.

We should equally stand and speaks against all sin. It is not right to be overzealous about the sin of homosexuality as if to say; this is the only motif. It’s concerning that placing too much attention on one issue is simply an opportunity to ignore and not address others.
Loving people is what we must be known for, this is the foundation block for any relationship specially our relationship in Christ. However; if we love, we will speak the truth of God to those we call our people.
The danger is the redefinition of sin. Isaiah 5:20: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
If there's no sin in your life, exactly what do you need salvation from? Was there no need for the cross?
1 Corinthians 6:9: Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
People say, love the sinner not the sin. (Read section 2)
But, who goes to hell? The sin or the sinner?
