Newsweek has written a spread on the evangelical/christian/catholic view on the same/sex marriage issue. As a believer, I encourage to get the magazine, read it and get a good understanding on where our world sees us in regard to the issue. On a website today, one person wrote a response to the magazine in regard to the issue of tolerance. It is simply written by someone who calls themself "Unfettered Candor". What he/she wrote is below. It is stated well.
The last virtue of a degenerate society is TOLERANCE – you tolerate my immorality and I will tolerate yours.
Christianity is an absolute religion. No other religion can claim that.
Without the absolute authority of God recorded in Scripture, mankind is on their own with their sinful, finite minds. On our own, we will come up with anything and claim it good and right to satisfy our carnal propensities.
Society, with its cunning sophistry concerning “tolerance”, may claim that the tolerance of anything is a virtue. God tells us that anything against His will is vice/evil. Living in vices and promoting it has eternal consequences. God will NOT “tolerate” vice/sin. Unrepentant sinners will be separated from God for an eternity of continual suffering. The good news is that, in His love for us , God has provided a way to forgive us and justify us in His sight……trusting in Jesus Christ as making payment for your sins and for all of mankind. This is the love that should be focused upon!
Just for the sake of unprofitable argument, let’s say that those who reject God’s will and plan for mankind is right and I am wrong. What have I got to lose after I die? Then let’s say I am right and the “rejecters’’ are wrong……they will have EVERYTHING to lose [their soul].
We are all in the same boat. We need God to guide us into His truth about living a peaceful life and where we will spend eternity.
Well said.
