There are hundreds of religions/beliefs in this world. Does the God of the Bible respect religious tolerance ? That He letteth other religions ? Edited October 15, 2022 by R.

Does the God of the Bible respect religious tolerance ? That He letteth it ? Hi, Hartono … He does, indeed. Jesus Christ Himself traveled around and gently and tolerantly taught everything that His Father had asked Him to. …. And He commands Christians to follow that example. —Selah "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. - Matthew 28:19-20 Edited October 14, 2022 by Selah7 scripture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you define "tolerance"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can accept people but firmly disagree with their lifestyle or beliefs. Accepting a person does not mean I agree with what they teach or believe or do. Popular culture is attempting to use the word tolerance to a greater extent than the meaning suggests. It is often said that if we don't tolerate certain things we are haters, and this is how the devil sells his apostate wares to gullible churches who only want to present an image of love. If we don't 'tolerate' sin or apostasy we are not loving Christians, where tolerate means to embrace and accept apostate teachings and sinful lifestyles. If we refuse such lifestyles and teachings we are called "intolerant" among other things. Churches are trading solid biblical foundation for a bag of magic beans. Magic beans is a reference to the children's story about the giant and the bean stalk. The bible teaches only one way to God. Through Jesus Christ. There is no other. No not just the trappings of something that looks like Christianity but isn't. Not one way to God + anything else. ONE WAY TO GOD. The bible itself does not TOLERATE anything else. Yet the world wants us to join in with others who think there are many ways to get to God. God says " Come out from among them, be ye separate". The more time goes by, the more we will see this kind of thinking that says we Christians are too rigid and need to move to the modern ways, we should accept other religions and teachings. This is what the pope is going around condoning. A Jesuit who is acting like one in attempting to undermine the true church. Don't fall for the watered down feeble attempts to assimilate and weaken the gospel. Edited October 14, 2022 by Starise 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I do not believe that God is "tolerant" of false teachings. John 14:6 English Standard Version 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if Christians—that is, if we—don't share the true Word of God with unbelievers, how will they ever hear it and learn? Now we might be told to "go away," but that's still okay since our responsibility only requires us to share the Good News with them. It’s not our job to save them; only God can do this. If the seed is meant to grow, God will be the One who causes it to do so. For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. - Romans 10:13-17 Selah 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of its truth and wisdom is evident to those blessed with the vision to see it. As another once said, the faithful Christian thirsts for the word of God.

If you mean does he permit ignorance of the gospel, then yes God tolerates the ungodly, he sends rain and sunshine to all people without any qualifications, are they Christian or not. That said God's patience and long suffering of the ungodly is meant to lead them to repentance. He will one day judge every person and the key fact will be is Jesus there Lord and Saviour.
