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?

We have rational, overt reasons for what we believe, but we also tend toward what's going to make our lives easier and give us more of what we want. We need to be honest with ourselves about this. Are we willing to accept the truth of God? Because it will change our world.

The real Gospel is credible, it makes a difference in how we live, it impacts the whole world, and it is eminently believable. We need to make sure we understand what the real Gospel is, and this passage establishes just that.

They say no one knows the future, but by the character of God and the content of Scripture we can say that God knows the future. They say the envirionment is being destroyed—we say creation groans waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. They say our country is doomed—we say that the church is thriving. Learn about finding peace in a world of chaos.

In the true teaching of holiness, when we become more holy, we do not become less human or less who we were meant to be, we become more who God designed us to be. There's a beauty and a wholeness to true holiness.

In this challenging passage, Paul says that it is disgraceful for women to speak in church. He doesn't mean that a woman may not utter a word in church, because earlier in 1 Corinthians he talks about women praying and prophesying in church. Find out what Paul does mean.
