This concern has resulted in high tolerance for people of other faiths.
Jesus said, “ I am the way, the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by Me.”
That doesn’t sound very tolerant.
There is an enormous difference between forced worship of a particular god or God ... and God’s own express, specific and narrow road of redemption that the Bible says is the only way to Heaven.
I don’t condemn you for whatever god or God you worship. God is the Judge and unforgiven sin is what results in condemnation. Yet God is not willing that any should perish....
Tolerance in a medical context, BTW, is how much toxin a body can survive.
The whole other-faiths thing... I think a lot of these lib-Christians are uncomfortable with the idea of some kid in Muslim-dominated Africa who’s never even heard Christ’s name dying and going to hell because he never joined up with the One True Faith. And take the example of what Dante called the “virtuous pagans.” The people who don’t believe as we do but who are upstanding citizens of the world anyhow. They’re just like us, stumbling through this life and looking for fulfillment - but are all the decent non-Christians of the world going to be damned forever solely because they weren’t washed in the blood of the Lamb? That’s what I think gets the lib-Christians riled up.
All I can say about the virtuous pagans is to let God worry about them. Not a sparrow falls... right? (And if you’re starting to wonder about my sanity after reading this post, don’t worry. So am I.)
