What if instead of 'God can't stand sin' we go with 'Sinners can't stand God?'

If God can't stand sin, isn't it strange that God became 'sin on our behalf.' Seeing God as the one who requires separation doesn't seem right. So is this doable? Is it biblical?

Want a good audio on that by Reardon, and another by Hopko?

Or just read John 3:16-21. Your question agrees with that text.

Sure, I'll have a listen. I'd like to take the whole 'God can't stand sin' idea and declare it heretical or something. I don't think it's compatible with Christianity. I'm I being too hasty?

Here's one about judging nations:

And here's one that talks about judgement and hell:

Have you ever wondered and asked the question, “How can a loving God cast people into hell?” This week’s program Fr. Patrick Reardon who will enlighten us all as he addresses this question and provides an explanation that many may be surprised with. Fr. Patrick will focus his discussion that Our God is a loving God, affirming the dignity of our free world, accomplishing our salvation, letting us go where we want to go; going our own way. Be sure to tune in to what is truly to be an eye-opening experience this week.
