Tolerance and that Coexist bumper sticker are really a message to Christians to shut up about sin, Jesus, God’s Word, and eternity in hell. Though, on a certain level I am alright with people spending eternity in hell, as is God. People can’t come to God unless he draws them, so there is a prerequisite of people rejecting our evil world system and wanting something better before they can be called, realizing God is real. And missing from the article is Romans 1, which points out that the descent into debauchery<\/a> is a judgement from God so that they might see the futility of their sinful desires and make a u-turn to a relationship with God. And all Christians can do is provide information, as God is the one that draws and saves by His supernatural power. But we do tell them the truth about sin, Jesus and eternal life; but as Jesus was at the well with the Samaritan woman, we feel people out and see if they’re ready as to not harden their hearts further against the Gospel before their time. And God has angels and supernatural power, so everyone will get their chance for salvation even if they reject it to spend eternity in hell. Consequently, we realize our human feebleness and that people’s eternal destination doesn’t rest upon us, but with God who has everything under His control and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a minister, I am \u201cduty-bound\u201d to accurately present the content of the Bible. A true call from God will result in a desire to help people understand Scripture and apply it to their lives. But a faithful opening of timeless Scripture can generate some visceral pushback from audiences today.      

When I call out sin, point out errors in interpreting the Bible, or suggest that biology<\/em> rather than emotions<\/em> should dictate the discussion on human sexuality, I\u2019m told that I need to be more tolerant. What exactly is tolerance in today\u2019s society?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tolerance is a manufactured, secular, socially manipulated and weakly constructed excuse for a sentiment. It is not a Christian virtue, a Fruit of the Spirit (Ephesians 6) or a command of Jesus. Only the \u201csparkle creed\u201d suggests otherwise, and it is not a religious orthodoxy; it is a perversion of a traditional Christian statement of faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is tolerance? The way the world imposes and enforces it, tolerance is a fabricated counterfeit of Christian love and genuine human compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of, \u201cLet me help lift you out of your mess,\u201d tolerance says, \u201cI support your right to live as a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A life-changing encounter with the Son of God promises, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to stay this way, there\u2019s a better, higher Way to live.\u201d Tolerance says, \u201cI embrace the fact that you\u2019re broken. I will agree to underwrite the lie you can\u2019t ever change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of offering hope, rescue and peace, tolerance says, \u201cI celebrate the falsehoods you\u2019ve been told. I will also lie and tell you that the fatal, degrading, noxious Hell you\u2019re living in is a valid, \u2018alternative lifestyle.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe for tolerance could be, \u201ctwo parts guilt, a dash of pity, one-part spiritual blindness, with heavy doses of naivete. Mix in all oblivious ignorance available.\u201d It is never the path to freedom; it is a guarantee of further torture, deeper debauchery and spiritual slavery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tolerance traps individuals and emboldens groups into a spiral toward physical torment and eternal death instead of telling them they can be free and have a new life in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up on a North Carolina farm that my family operated successfully for 68 years. Any farmer can tell you if you tolerate weeds, you don\u2019t get more compliant weeds. Weeds won\u2019t agree to give your crops equal room, water, and sun. If you tolerate weeds, they grow faster and spread more. Weeds must be eliminated, have their roots exposed to the sun, and be uprooted and replaced with something better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you tolerate weeds, sin, the alphabet mafia, defund police, abortion as \u201chealthcare,\u201d legalized drug use or accept any form of lawlessness, the only<\/em> thing you guarantee is more and worse lawlessness (Romans 4:7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus said that the increase in tolerance and various forms of lawlessness are signs of the last days (Matthew 24:12). Ignorance is another sign that we are nearing the end (1 Timothy 4:1-4; 1 Peter 3:3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have the Bible, and for those who admit it, we have medical science and human biology; the facts are irrefutable. We cannot claim ignorance, only compliance. We don\u2019t have any biblical basis for being the world\u2019s version of \u201ctolerant.\u201d Avoid that slippery slope; it leads to moral and societal destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world will get darker and darker. We are commanded not to cooperate with the darkness and evil but to expose and avoid it (2 Corinthians 6:14). We can either be a brighter light in the darker dark or agree to spread the lie that the definition of dark suddenly changed \u2014 dark isn\u2019t really dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redefining sexual perversion in the name of tolerance is still perverse, degenerate, immoral and depraved. The only difference is that now, \u201cpride\u201d has three months of celebration on the calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an ordained minister, I am called to be a light. But this responsibility is also on the shoulders of all Christians. Christ\u2019s church is a messenger with an assignment to courageously spread truth in a world of lies.

We must be bold and speak facts when it\u2019s not considered tolerant. Scarred, bleeding and under fire, I\u2019d rather be a doctor of souls on the front lines of the war than a satisfied spiritual mortician watching the world die in darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tolerance is a polite way of saying, \u201cI\u2019m OK that people will spend eternity in hell.\u201d God forbid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
