The Bible says Judgement begins in the house of God. That means that we need to get our own "act" together. And when Christians are so vocal as judging all the lifestyles in the world and so vocal to show intolerance and suspicion to those in liberal mindset or lifestyle, I believe we have done so well long before we have taken a good long hard look at what needs to be dealt with in our own "camp"...
And I do believe that tolerance goes further in being a voice for one's own beliefs. If the first thing you hear from someone or a group, is the insult of intolerance, how much are you going to be receptive to any belief system offered after that? Any way to live? Any supposed hope for eternity?
Even the Bible says that it is the KINDNESS of the Lord that leads to repentance.
How can one be kind and intolerant at the same time?
Even the Bible says that a spring can't offer both sweet and bitter waters...
