God Is Not A Tolerant God

A Dictator of a Coach
Does God tolerate false teaching?

Answer: No, Revelation 2:14 "Nevertheless, I ( God ) have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam,....."

Revelation 2:15 "Likewise you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans."

Revelation 2:16 "Repent...."

Does God tolerate the followers of the false teachers?

Answer: No, 2 John 1:10-11 "If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work."

Does God tolerate evil acts or sexual immorality?

Answer: No, 1 Corinthians 5:1 "It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you,..........and you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?

Does God tolerate people who approves of evil?

Answer: No, Romans 1:32 "Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

Romans 14:22 "......Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

It is my opinion that God did not write these wrods. They are the words of men, written nearly 2 thousand years ago in a time when the masses were uneducated.

It is man that is intolerant. We have free will and these writings only serve to enslave man. We would live happier lives if we concentrated on our relationship with nature and focussed on the things we have in common with our fellow man.

God is not a tolerant God?????? Rubbish. Men who believe in god are no tolerant of those who do not share the same belief/opinion.

I don't think God has any truck with such things, just as we human parents do not approve of our children smoking, doing drugs, or drinking. But we don't kill our children because of these things.

How many of you, if your daughter came home knocked up, would turn her out and disown her? You'd be disappointed. You'd be sad. You'd be concerned for her and her baby. But you wouldn't condemn her.

Neither does God condemn us. God's patience always overcomes God's wrath. it is the act of doing these things that necessitates grace. "Who is more in need of grace," Jesus asks us? "One who sins much, or one who is righteous?"

Once again, I fear that some suffer from "Bible-in-mouth disease."

Supposedly, God loves everybody. Humans, on the other hand, have shown quite the opposite.

Why does God have to be tolerant? It is humans who set the ideals and goals of what they think god should be.

Precisely. To the Coach, "God" is an angry judge with a power trip who wants to control people's thoughts through threats. Nobody here can change that "God" for our beloved Coach. Any change would have to originate within the Coach.

This is the real meaning of Process Theology.

I tend to agree with this. God is a reflection of the inner world of the person beholding It; a relationship between the intrapersonal and the perceived reality.

To a dictator, God is a dictator.

And once I learn to pan out a little on the frame of reference I can see that it's my own hand that holds up the world I perceive. And what I perceive is my own reflection.

Escher would agree. ;) And if panned out further, would you see your own hand drawing itself?
