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 can know for sure that what God says is the way to be saved IS the way to be saved. It's not a matter of opinion or a private, indefinite, uncertain best guess. Pastor Josh talks about faith.

The inheritors of the world are not those on Forbes' list of the 500 richest men, and they aren't the political ruling class or the Hollywood celebrities. So who are the inheritors of the world?

We tend to rely on authorities and look for footnotes, but the Sermon on the Mount is the King teaching about the Kingdom. When Jesus says, "I tell you," it's a claim to supreme authority.

Paul is putting two approaches in justaposition against each other. He is trying to dramatize the uniqueness of Christianity. We expect life to go one way, and then there is a sudden shift.

A lot of people think of faith as just a passive belief. Paul says we should look at the life of Abraham to learn about faith.

The most difficult people to reach are not the disadvantaged or the poor, for they do not find it hard to believe that they will not be justified by their own works. Jesus said it was difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God. Today we study Abraham and his wealth, possessions, and power.

There is a tendency for us to become experts as a way for us to avoid practicing what we preach. Pastor Josh teaches about the person who knows the Bible well in theory but who does not practically uphold the law.

What is the difference beween a boaster and a proclaimer? A boaster puffs up; a proclaimer reaches out. A boaster takes adulation; a proclaimer gives inspiration. A boaster thinks, dreams, and talks big; a proclaimer has someone big to talk about.
