My Beloved Bretheren

In Helaman chapter 15, Samuel is prophesying and preaching unto the wicked Nephites. Throughout the text, Samuel addresses them as his "beloved brethren (Hel. 15:1, 4) Even though the wicked Nephites reject him and his message, and have tried to kill him, Samuel still makes an effort to have a horizontal relationship with them. Samuel may be admonishing the Nephites' wicked ways, however he still treats them as his brethren, as equals, and with Christlike love. God cannot look upon sin with the least bit of allowance, but that does not mean that he hates us sinners. We must learn to treat people as Samuel and Christ would, with love and understanding, without compromising our standards for what is right and wrong. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. 

"As we step back and try to understand this love of God, we are astounded by its profound impact. At its center is the reality of a literal Father in Heaven whose love for His children knows no bounds. All truths, wisdom, power, goodness, and love He desires to share with His children, whom He created and sent to earth. He would have us reach up and know Him as a Father, as one who forgives, as a helper, as friend, as lawgiver—as one anxious to grant to every man the full opportunity of His love and potential and ultimately the blessing to one day become like Him." (James M. Paramore)

No one is perfect, that's obvious, and no one sins exactly the same. As Uchtdorf once said, "don't judge others because they sin differently than you do". We all need Christ and need help to return to him, so we, as members with the fullness of the gospel, should help as many lost sheep return to Him, no matter what they have done in the past. That is not up to us to judge.
