Join us for an engaging discussion as we unpack the popular phrase "Love the sinner, hate the sin" and why it's problematic, particularly when used in relation to the LGBTQ+ community. We dissect the dichotomy between the God of the Old Testament and the New Testament, and the struggles this poses for modern Christianity. We take a closer look at the challenges faced when reconciling Biblical passages on homosexuality and queerness with the concept of universal love.

Tune in as we dive into the potential pitfalls of "Versitis" - the practice of isolating verses from the Bible to form our own interpretations. We reflect on the dangers of creating a skewed picture of Jesus and how gathering in a community for Bible study can aid us in maintaining the context and the true essence of the scriptures. 

Finally, we reflect on the power of love, grace, and mercy as we navigate through the challenges of interpreting biblical passages. We tackle the issue of inclusion in the church, discussing the ways in which wrestling with scripture, our fellow Christians, and church leaders can help us to form decisions about inclusion and love. It's a conversation full of thought-provoking insights and perspectives you won't want to miss!
