Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

The most difficult people to reach are not the disadvantaged or the poor, for they do not find it hard to believe that they will not be justified by their own works. Jesus said it was difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God. Today we study Abraham and his wealth, possessions, and power.

There is a tendency for us to become experts as a way for us to avoid practicing what we preach. Pastor Josh teaches about the person who knows the Bible well in theory but who does not practically uphold the law.

What is the difference beween a boaster and a proclaimer? A boaster puffs up; a proclaimer reaches out. A boaster takes adulation; a proclaimer gives inspiration. A boaster thinks, dreams, and talks big; a proclaimer has someone big to talk about.

Paul puts the message of justification so prominently here in his writing to the Romans because he viewed justification as a message to change the entire world. We can't just say a sinner's prayer and then ignore God afterwards.

In our world of deep suffering and tragedy, how can we believe that God is loving and good? Paul says that we must go to the cross, which is the answer to all of the problems of the entire world.

In the book of Romans, Paul is writing a cross-cultural letter. Pastor Josh underscores the importance of doctrinal clarity as it is magnified in new cultures.

Moses' face when he saw the glory of God at Mount Horeb was shining, and yet it repelled people. The law came through Moses. Jesus' face after his transfiguration was shining too, and yet it attracted people. Grace and truth come through Jesus Christ.

The concepts of sin and being justified by grace as a gift have all become too familiar, like a well-worn teddy bear. Pastor Josh teaches on the dangers of familiarity. We need a fresh insight into the same truth so it hits us anew.

We make Jesus small when he is big. We complicate it because we don't appreciate his majesty. Pastor Josh teaches that faith involves surrender to and dependence on someone.

We can rejoice in hope, confidence, certainty, and assurance. When we know that our destiny is certain glory, our present is freed to live with abounding hope.
