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?

Most false teaching is built upon a doctrine that we didn't fall that far and therefore we can raise ourselves up with a series of rules and rituals. If you want to restore Christ, you've got to preach the seriousness of sin.

This passage teaches us to trust God and His grace alone for salvation. When you downplay sin, you diminish salvation. When you dilute depravity, you undermine mercy. When you speak mildly about our rebellion, you cannot speak loudly of God's grace.

Humanity is given high significance, but it is a reflected glory. We are made in God's image and we are His creation. What does that mean and how do we therefore live?

This series is an overview of how the Bible fits together, both in terms of its doctrine and in terms of its practice. What is the Bible actually about and what is its message? And how do you put that into practice?

Eleanor Roosevelt said, "He who loses money loses much. He who loses a friend loses much more. He who loses faith loses all." We could add, "He who makes an idol of money will lose life." An idol is anything or anyone you put in the place of God in your heart and mind. Idols reflect what you want God and your life to be like.

If you wanted to create a society where people would be maximally unpleasant to each other, all you would have to do is remove the fear of God. People behave badly when they don't fear God or judgment.

Christians so often think of themselves as marginalized from the great events of the day. But according to John, the people who overcome the world are those born of God--they are the world shakers!

Once we have the right definition in our minds and we have the power of God (having been born of God) then let us love one another like this. John is defining love. How do you know when someone really loves you? Ultimately, it's because someone forgives you.

We want to be tolerant, but there are so many things we should not tolerate. If someone is practicing self-harm, it is not loving to ignore that; it's loving to confront that. The line between love and truth can become blurred, but the Bible has a healthy way of looking at these two things.

We're not perfect, but if we're not purifying ourselves and if our lifestyles are not on the path toward righteousness, then we cannot hide behind a profession of faith. A profession of faith without a practice of faith is in fact a characteristic of children of the devil.
