But you can't criticize them if they become alcoholics.
Is tolerance and love really the same thing?
The idea that love = tolerance permissiveness is the root of much evil in the world today and in the future. People think we're progressing when in truth society is simply regressing to the times when no one gave a crap about sexual deviancy and other crimes.
No. Certainly the love that we are to have for others is contrary to tolerance as currently understood.
Like it or not, we are indeed our brothers' keepers, and as such we are to look out for them at the best of times and the worst. If we fail to turn them from their desturction, then that's all the Lord can ask, so long as we have sincerely tried to do so. Remember, leaving sinners to go their own way without rebuke or caution is an abomination to the Lord and something which you will be asked to account for on the Doomsday.
If you buy into the idea that "to each their own" and "everyone does that which is right in their eyes", then you are actively helping to condemn sinners.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said it best, when he said that we should be tolerant to the erring, but intolerant to the error.
It would be infinitely more hateful to allow someone to fall into damnation when you have a message that can prevent it. Love means not tolerating the means by which someone throws themselves into Hell.
Who will stop the words from coming out of his mouth?
Ive tried to warn them but they just cried, called me a bigot and i got suspended. Ive done my job and they will be reminded of that on judgement day
Satan pushes this idea that's why the world is now in ruins.
Firstly: The word 'love' has nowadays been reduced to physical attraction unfortunately. The meaning was lost.
Besides Eros, love is also the desire of well being of the other person.
Secondly: Love is not the same thing.
Tolerance to faggotry leads to pedophiles adopting children
Tolerance to abortion is literally murder
Tolerance to pornography leads to porn addicts and perverts
Tolerance to devil leads to him reigning.
Thirdly: Yoour parents punish you for your misdeeds. Your heavenly father does so too. Does that mean they do not love you? of course they still love you. The punishment is sometimes the most mighty deed of love.
Is it love when you do not point out that sodomy is a mortal sin? Is it not love to point out abortion is murder? Is it not love to tell the truth - the way to God is only through Christ, not through occult stuff or other religions?
Fourthly: Everything is tolerated nowadays…except for one true christian faith. That kinda tells you something doesn't it? Any form of degeneracy and bestiality is normalized. Speak against it as christians SHOULD and you will be punished.
Those are the things to consider. This heretical 'church of niceness and so called tolerance' has no future. It's a gangrenous limb, a putrifying flesh.
Tolerance is often the very opposite of love, because it is borne from and an expression of Apathy.
Apathy is the opposite of Love, which is caring for someone/thing and so responding accordingly.
Tolerating stuff because you don't care about it is the opposite of the caring which is love.
Your job isn't to convert them, that's their job. Your job is to give them the message, and to stand your ground.
It's "love thy brother as thyself as long as he obeys God's commandments".
God hates sinners and destroys them, but not before giving them a chance most of the time.
