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 do need to work hard to grow as Christians, but that is not the same as supplementing Christ with "religiocity". Paul points out some things that we don't need to be doing.

Because our culture assumes that religion is a matter of private devotion and that what we can know about God is precious little because he's a mysterious being, people tend to default to the view that God is a matter of opinion.

The greatest gospel of man that threatens our ability to understand that faith in Christ is what glorifies God...is the gospel of constant busyness. We've got to get beyond that to find what really matters.

There is a mystical faith union but it's not just between you and Jesus, it's between you and the cross of Jesus. That makes a big difference.
February 18, 2022
Paul tells the Galatians that the reason they have lost their joy and almost lost their faith is because they've lost sight of the cross.
