In light of Chris' post on loving the sinner but hating the sin

I came across this post at Already Not Yet. You can see it for your self here.

“The cliché, God hates the sin but loves 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).”

-D.A. Carson
