Where do people get the idea that Christians are supposed to tolerate sin and false teachings??
People are always saying that we are supposed to be tolerant of things, even things that go directly against God Word. This is nothing more the PC bologna. The Bible says we are to HATE sin, and fasle teachings. More and more churches and so called pastors, preachers, etc. are preaching such a soft gospel that it makes me sick. There is no doubt that the end is near because the Bible tells of such teachings in the last days.
Where do people come up with such things as we are to be tolerant?
I got saved at an in your face drama called Heavens Gates and Hells Flames.
Yes it was by Gods grace, but what does that have to do with us tolerating sin?
I never said I was witout sin. I simply said we are not to tolerate it.

Turn the other cheek is meant in a spiritual way. If you are teaching the gospel and a unbeliever slaps you in the face "verbally we are supposed to gently back off (as in turn the other cheek). As far as casting the first stone , that is just a lesson on being a hypocrite. And judge not lest you be judge . The word judge is actually in the original manuscripts the word "condemn". In other words pass sentence. As in " that man should die for his sins". Many time the bible breeches the topic of how to tell false teachers and false doctrine. Tolerance of these things is not acceptable. I think one of our posters should think again. Sadly political correctness is skewing Christianity.

As usual your questions are wonderful and accurate and " on the mark".
Many churches are preaching a positive attitude, goal setting prosperity obssed gospel.
The gospel of Jesus does not need anything more added to it nor does it need anything taken away for it.
What is the gospel of Jesus? Jesus died for our sins that we can be saved Jesus is all there is Jesus is all we need Jesus is enough Psalm 130,131 reference this, good reading.
The gospel has been so watered down my money hungry pastors and TV blitzes or shows demonstrating Christianity.
Let one thing be know it is a DANGEROUS thing to teach and preach Christianity without the cross of Christ.
Now your question it is more comfortable to believe the lies that we are supposed to have everything and be comfortable then to say we will suffer for Christ Sake see Philippians 1:29
Stone false teaching and tolerating sin is nothing new it starter in the garden when Satan lied to Eve and said if she ate the fruit she would be like gods, isn't that what the local church in some ways has become building our own kingdoms instead of seeking THE kingdom of God. e4g

I guess most people just hope that someday Christians will learn to be tolerant of people who believe differently than them.
I have seen you here for a long time.
You are well versed in hate and judgement.
You are a fine example of the biblical god and all he stands for.
The bible is nonsense. The supposed "historical facts" don’t even line up. Like the wrong prophet with the wrong king at the wrong battle and it was first written down years after the fact. That is historical fiction. The setting maybe a historical fact, but what they said happened is fiction. We don’t know who wrote the gospel, The first one Mark was written at least 30 to 60 years after Jesus died. Matthew and Luke had a copy of Mark with them when they wrote their books. John was deliberately written to fill in the gaps and the arguments that the new christian faith was having. These are stories passed on for years and years before written down. None of these are first hand accounts even though they are written that way.
Every religion has their spin on it, but try to find the facts. The conclusion is that there is little in the bible old or new that is fact. It mentions places that are real, but that’s about it. You can walk the streets where Jesus carried his cross, but did he really carry a cross? I try to find sources out side the bible that mention the same thing the bible does. Like the census that was taken and why Joseph went to Bethlehem. No record of it ever happening outside the bible. This is not the stone age. There was all kinds of trading with other countries. Something should have been mentioned somewhere about this massive disruption of the economy. Anyhow, we base our faith on the stories of Jesus in the gospels. If they can not be proven as fact, even by the Roman empire, then faith is based on fiction?

you do no longer ought to have confidence in Genesis to go searching you and comprehend there is sin throughout. Christians take place to have confidence interior the Bible. we are no longer certain with the aid of the Judaic rules interior the previous testomony using fact Jesus started a sparkling Covenant with us, and he died using fact the sin offering for all our sins, in case you could only have confidence.

We live in the age when men are not willing to "endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned into fables."
II Timothy 4:3
You are right, my Brother, we are very close now to the end of this age. I can almost hear the hoofs of the horse men of Revelation.

Apparently whem church was seperated from collective and secular affairs such as politics etc. They had to take some stand to give free escape to non-religious people to avoid conflict. Otherwise churches were too strong against evil some 300 years ago.

I agree . . . your bible says:
How God Spots A Christian . . .
Jesus has this to say about a woman’s appearance--
“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array” (1 Timothy 2:9). “Likewise ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands . . . Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart” (1 Peter 3:3).
God places restrictions does on the fabric of your clothes--
(God prohibits clothing made of more than one type of fabric.) “Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee” (Leviticus 19:19).
What is God’s response to women who dress, groom and act elegantly?
(He smites them, then robs them of their beauty.) “Moreover, the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon. The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels, the changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails” (Isaiah 3:16-23).
So I guess all those who go to church dressed up don't quite make the cut, eh? Tisk, tisk.

Listen to what Jesus says to your heart when you pray to Him
And You are silent/
Listen to what Jesus tells you
It matches up with what Jesus said in the Bible.
Listen to Jesus.He is the only way to heaven.
I know Jesus and believe me He is peace and love
That is what He put in my heart when Jesus saved me.
What is in your heart?
I hope love.His Name is Jesus.The first and the last.
The King of Kings.The Savior.Jesus is the best.
Source(s): May I asked how you got saved? Was it not God's mercy. Was it not Jesus forgiving you of your filthy sin? Was that watered down? Or am I missing something here? Or are you heartless? I am not judging you. It is a simple question that maybe you should ask yourself? I am saying this from my heart out of love (FOR YOU) not hate 1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. - Anonymous1 decade ago
Um, because God will forgive a repentant soul, so why shouldn't we? Although I guess that's not really tolerating sin but forgiving the sinner.
Source(s): I don't trust a priest, so I read the Bible and find my own interpretation.
