"[quote;Tolerance is very important.]
No, tolerance is what has led to apostasy. Tolerance is what has led to moral relativism. Tolerance is what has led to the infestation of liberalism within the Church. Tolerance is what has led to people trusting man over God. Tolerance is what has led to a watering down of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
What IS important is standing firm in God's Word and NOT tolerating that which seeks to destroy it."

Moral relativism is one of the better things to date.
Tolerance is what led to you not living in the dark ages. Since you dislike it so much:
See here's the thing...
Maybe it's just because you are deluded and paranoid that you think that every scrap of knowledge is a personal attack on you skydaddy.

um. A thought. Unless Grace is just her given name, isn't she missing a fairly important point here? Isn't divine grace, more or less, god "tolerating" our imperfections? You're not perfect, but you're saved anyway, by the grace of god?
I think the problem with "tolerance" is that there is often a mis-match of definitions of tolerance. I know Whispering Grace fairly well and I think I know where she is coming from.
"What IS important is standing firm in God's Word"
So, are you killing witches? Killing homosexuals? Killing those that work on the Sabbath? Killing your kids when they are disobedient? Killing your wife on her father's doorstep if she's not a virgin on your wedding night? Killing followers of other religions? Killing entire towns if any one person within is worshipping other gods?
C'mon, you're supposed to be "standing firm in god's word". Your book of "morality" tells you to do all of these things.
If you're not, "standing firm in god's word" IS NOT important.
Oh, and if you're NOT killing as described above, you're practicing moral relativism, because your book of "morality" tells you to kill.
Is it ok to kill in self-defense? In defense of your family? In time of war? If you say "yes", you're practicing moral relativism. "Thou shalt not kill", remember?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
