First off, I don't like Sandy Rios for this exact reason. I do not think her tone or way of communicating demonstrate a gentle or compassionate approach. So while I disagree with how she said it, I do not disagree with the substance of her comments. Unrepentant sinners go to Hell. Advising people that they can avoid that fate is an act of love. Disparaging people who advocate and promote sins that draw people into Hell is necessary.
