PLURALISM & TOLERANCE

Introduction During an interview with evangelical pastor Rick Warren that was broadcast on Christmas Eve, Piers Morgan, the controversial journalist and CNN television host, once again stroked the flames of controversy, asserting that both the Bible and the U.S. Constitution are “inherently flawed” and need new “amendments.”

Modern Tolerance Incompatible with the teaching of Jehovah God. Incompatible with the teaching of the O.T. prophets. Incompatible with the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. Incompatible with the teaching of the N.T. apostles and prophets.

Biblical Tolerance Some things are tolerated because they fall within the purview of duty. Some things are tolerated because they fall within the purview of love. Some things must not be tolerated because they fall outside the purview of truth.

Conclusion Disciples should be tolerant of one another, as we struggle with weakness, but strive to live faithfully to the Lord. Nevertheless, we must not tolerate sinful behavior or false doctrine, in the sense that we accept and endorse the same.

Challenge It all connects with our attitude toward the truth. While human opinions are in a state of constant flux, divine truth never changes (Psa. 119:89, 160; Isa. 40:6-8; 1 Pet. 1:22-25). Apostates will not endure sound doctrine (2 Tim. 4:1-5, esp. vs. 3), but believers bear with the inspired message of exhortation (Heb. 13:22). While disciples are obligated to show tolerance for one another in love, we must respect the doctrinal distinctives of the Gospel (Eph. 4:1-16).
