Yeah i agree tolerance and turning the other cheek towards someones beliefs is bad sometimes. Which is why i dont respect all beliefs.
Tolerance is in opposition to purity and unity. You can't have peace without purity and unity.
Tolerance fosters conforming to the world but Christians are only to conform to Jesus Christ.
Tolerance is luke warm.
The Meaning of the Word, "Laodicea"
The word "Laodicea has two meanings. One meaning refers to the spiritual condition of the Church. The other is about its historical destiny. This is true of the Church of Laodicea. The word "Laodicea", like the Church of Thyatira, is formed from two Greek words. These words are laoV, which means "people", and dikazo, which can mean either a personal opinion or a decree, i.e. a sentence, given by a judge. Therefore, we find that the word "Laodicea" can mean both "people's opinions" or "people judged".
People today are living in a "Laodicean" Age. Jesus said "To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne...".
You don't overcome the world by conforming to it when the world peer pressures you with buzz words.
Who you gonna listen to? God or every person with an opinion that he probably had forced on him by the world?
You know God doesn't brain wash people nearly as much as people do via tv and radio. Most people only spend an hour a week at church versus 15 to 20 a week in front of the boob tube.
