It’s Time To Get Intolerant
Barbwire ^ | December 30, 2014 | Bill Muehlenberg

We expect secular humanists and others like them to celebrate the idea of tolerance as the greatest good, but sadly many believers have also hopped on to this foolish bandwagon. It is as if the greatest virtue is now tolerance and the greatest vice is intolerance.

Well, it is time for some straight thinking here. In fact, it’s time to get biblical as well. Just today I read the words of Jesus in which he praised intolerance. Yep, you heard me right. In his words to the Church in Thyatira he praised their ‘faith, service and perseverance,’ but he went on to harshly rebuke them:

“Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols” (Revelation 2:20). These believers were tolerating something which they should have been very intolerant about.

It's about TIME we started seeing the correct verbage in the published input

I get tired of trying to couch my words so that I don't offend someone or get arrested ... or get killed

But we're done analyzing and talking ... we've reached the point of action, and we've got to be motivated and organized.

Also:

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

Sadly, the Churches in America have bought the Satanic Lie foisted on them by the likes of Saul Alinsky and the Hedonistic Left that it is “Christian” to be tolerant of this etchings anathema to the faith and to liberty.

As if it is more virtuous to morally equivocate evil with Christ and showing tolerance for evil as being Christ-like.

Christians in America and the West have been willfully deceived and have eaten the fruit of our own destruction.

In the bible only non christians called christians...... christians...

AND Jesus’ actual name is not Jesus at all...

The Holy Spirit and GOD really have no name.. or need one..

and DEMOCRACY is in fact.. “Mob Rule by mobsters”..

Brain Wash is an amazing thing to behold..

Tolerance of the left, and the deconstruction of Western civilization is evil.

“Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols” (Revelation 2:20)

I wonder if this includes Halal meat.
