Wisdom Thought: Disapproval and total acceptance is possible. The two are not mutually exclusive. Both terms address the present and/or permanent reality that exists.
For example, I accept people unconditionally and still not approve of something they are doing. Love is not limited like that. Love also means telling a person the truth. Telling the truth in love is a two part command. It's not all candy and roses and agreement. Correction and accountability is a part of love.
This is crux of a real relationship right here.....it is probably where that saying comes from.."hate the sin, love the sinner." However, I've seen this go wrong, a lot on blame on both parts...the receiver calls it judgemental..sometimes it is...but the truth does sting...the giver is harsh, overbearing, and may even give a life sentence in their heads..
However, once its been addressed, life should go on. No human on this earth has a heaven or hell to put anyone in. Move on with it. Focus that energy on love... Everyone has to answer for their own decisions in the end. Yet, we're (God's people) are assigned to ensure that everyone makes an informed decision.
Be blessed on purpose!
