It started with "other religions." Early church leaders welcomed the pagans - which is biblical - but they also welcomed the pagan traditions - which is definitely NOT biblical. We were told that we had to be tolerant of other religions, even if they did not honor Yehovah, or had doctrine that was not biblical. We were told we couldn't "judge" other religions that are not biblical. We were told that we had to be tolerant of the philosophical beliefs and practices of others - even unbiblical ones - because one day it might be us. It didn't stop there, though. Once the world got its foot in the door, it muscled its way right on in. Now we are told that we MUST be tolerant of all forms of worldliness and sin - things that scripture, that YEHOVAH, calls an abomination. It started with a top on the door and manipulation of our emotions. Now it has become a festering sore on the church that is drawing Christians farther and farther into the world and farther and farther away from Yehovah. This is NOT what scripture teaches. Throughout the Bible we are told, no, COMMANDED, to "Be holy as Yehovah is holy." Tolerance of things that offend Yehovah and violate scripture are NOT biblical. Tolerance of things that offend Yehovah and violate scripture are NOT holy. Seek ye first the Kingdom of Yehovah (Matthew 6:33).
