[thedictator]

Does God tolerate false teaching?

Revelation 2:15 "Likewise you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans."

Revelation 2:16 "Repent...."

Does God tolerate the followers of the false teachers?

Answer: No, 2 John 1:10-11 "If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work."

Does God tolerate evil acts or sexual immorality?

Answer: No, 1 Corinthians 5:1 "It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you,..........and you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?

It is my opinion that God did not write these wrods. They are the words of men, written nearly 2 thousand years ago in a time when the masses were uneducated.

It is man that is intolerant. We have free will and these writings only serve to enslave man. We would live happier lives if we concentrated on our relationship with nature and focussed on the things we have in common with our fellow man.

God is not a tolerant God?????? Rubbish. Men who believe in god are no tolerant of those who do not share the same belief/opinion.

You'll have top PM me and explain the frubals system Buttons*, I'm a newbie and am not understanding of such things! lol

 

[sojourner]

I don't think God has any truck with such things, just as we human parents do not approve of our children smoking, doing drugs, or drinking. But we don't kill our children because of these things.

How many of you, if your daughter came home knocked up, would turn her out and disown her? You'd be disappointed. You'd be sad. You'd be concerned for her and her baby. But you wouldn't condemn her.

Neither does God condemn us. God's patience always overcomes God's wrath. it is the act of doing these things that necessitates grace. "Who is more in need of grace," Jesus asks us? "One who sins much, or one who is righteous?"

Once again, I fear that some suffer from "Bible-in-mouth disease."

Based on past history, I'd say it's people who aren't tolerant...not God.

What's the difference?

Why does God have to be tolerant? It is humans who set the ideals and goals of what they think god should be.

Supposedly, God loves everybody. Humans, on the other hand, have shown quite the opposite.

Precisely. To the Coach, "God" is an angry judge with a power trip who wants to control people's thoughts through threats. Nobody here can change that "God" for our beloved Coach. Any change would have to originate within the Coach.

This is the real meaning of Process Theology.

But for many (including the OP it sounds like to me), "intolerance" = "love".

Yeah, I remember that god, a real downer.

Would they be tolerant horse-gods?

I tend to agree with this. God is a reflection of the inner world of the person beholding It; a relationship between the intrapersonal and the perceived reality.

To a dictator, God is a dictator.

Depends on the horse. I suspect appaloosas would imagine very tolerant "gods."

And once I learn to pan out a little on the frame of reference I can see that it's my own hand that holds up the world I perceive. And what I perceive is my own reflection.

Would clydesdales imagine drunken gods? (Y'know, being a symbol for watered-down American beer? Get it? )

I'm leaving now...:foot:

Escher would agree. And if panned out further, would you see your own hand drawing itself?

 

[doppelganger]

At the very same time I'd also see the drawing drawing my own hand . . . . :yes:
