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?

The gospel is not new but it is good news. Our job is to guard the deposit and present that message to other people, not to come up with some newfangled idea.

We don't want to get wrapped up in forms and structure without the power of God at work in them. It is the power of Christ that we want you to experience today.

Here Paul describes a form of godliness without the power of Christ. We need structure, but if that's all there is, we're missing the main point, which is Christ and his power. We want you to have him and that power at work in your life.

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.
