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?

Jesus has done everything that needs to be done for your salvation. We are all sinners, and we need to be justified. Find out what we must do to get right with God.

The word justification is often not really understood. Yet in many ways it is the heart of the Christian faith. We need to grasp it, and Paul helps us do that.
August 28, 2019
Just as there was a great need for clarity regarding the gospel when Galatians was written, so it is today. Paul helps us think clearly and feel deeply about the true gospel.

Peter is putting on a mask. How do we take off these masks? The only way to not pretend is to realize that you are okay as you are now. You are accepted by God.
