I'll let you locate the tolerance.

Tolerating others taking things from you? Yes that is biblical.

I mean tolerance as used by liberals. Where did Jesus tolerate sin?

A liberal mentioned Christian tolerance in a thread. I was wondering which scriptures mention Christian tolerance. Perhaps example of it such as where Paul instructed that the immoral brother is to be expelled.

Okay, look at it this way old chap, Did Jesus show intolerance to sinners? Did he refuse to walk and live among them, did he refuse to allow them to wash his feet?!

With respect, I think you need to revisit the bible and dwell on how Jesus not only tolerated sin, but took the sins of man upon himself.

tolerance - Online Etymology Dictionary
www.etymonline.com › term=tolerance
Online Etymology Dictionary. early 15c., "endurance, fortitude" (in the face of pain, hardship, etc.), from Old French tolerance (14c.), from Latin tolerantia "a bearing, supporting, endurance," from tolerans, present participle of tolerare "to bear, endure, tolerate" (see toleration).

End quote.

So tolerance is not acceptance and implies a grudging attitude, putting up with something one has to endure. It would not give comfort to the person whose actions, beliefs or existence is being tolerated.

There seems to be opinions that while Jesus was alive, in the old covenant, that He tolerated sin. But after His crucifixion and resurrection, when one is 'reborn', that the tolerance of sin ends, and the expectation may be to never commit sin again.

Is there a difference here regarding sin? Pre and post resurrection?

Glad to know that I am indeed tolerant. I'll need to correct the next liberal who accuses me of being intollerant.

Wait a minute, are you saying that Jesus was physically violent and expressed explosive anger?

I thought that Jesus was perfect and never sinned.

Of course that was sarcasm from my point of view, but I am not sure how liberals can call that action loving.

Interacting with immoral people who are in a constant state of rebellion to God is only natural in this world.

Did Jesus say there are many ways to God?

Did Jesus claim that sexual immorality is not sin and we should be tolerant of sin?

See, here is how your intolerance does not serve you.

I wasn't talking about tolerating sin, I was talking about tolerating people who are not like you.

You continue to misrepresent and claim that what I was talking about was tolerating sin. Way to call those who are different from you 'sinful'.
