The Tolerance of Immorality Psalm 50:16-21

Principle Established Identified with wicked by tolerating evil   Saw a thief and consented with him   Made a partaker with adulterers   How? By tolerating evil rather than rebuking it Proverbs speak to the same principle   17:15Justifying the wicked is abomination   24:24One covering for wicked will be cursed   28:4Praising the wicked = Forsaking the law Such deception aids wicked (Ezek. 13:22)

In Nations of Israel & Judah Rule for any nation: Proverbs 14:34 Judah tolerated it at times (1 Kgs. 14:22-24)   Later put it away (1 Kgs. 15:11-12; 22:46)   Law tolerated none of such (Deut. 23:17) Israel destroyed for continual tolerance of it (2 Kgs. 17:7-18) Death sentence to assure “that there be no wickedness among you” (Lev. 20:10-14)

In the Church Ideal of purity stated: 2 Cor. 11:2-3 Cases of immorality tolerated in churches Rev. 2:20-23 Jezebel tolerated at Thyatira 1 Cor. 5:1-13 Puffed up in receiving evil doer 1 Cor. 15:33 Primary application to church In every case of evil present in any church, instruction was always to purge it out Evil present is unequal yoke (2 Cor. 6:14f)

In the Family Must seek spiritual good of others: 1 Pet. 3 Tolerance of immorality devastating in family   Matthew 5:32   Matthew 19:9   Influence of immorality brings more if no rebuke Note demands of love (Rom. 12:9)--   “Abhor that which is evil”   “Cleave to that which is good No true love present if tolerate immorality

Must Not Conceal Sin, But Must Expose & Rebuke It Dealt with severely in O.T. (Deut. 13:6-11)   “you shall not consent to him or listen to him”   “nor shall your eye pity him”   “nor shall you spare him or conceal him”   “your hand shall be first against him” Same principle seen in N.T.   Romans 1:32   Ephesians 5:7-12

Are We Guilty of Tolerating Evil? What do we do when we know of evil…   in the society around us?   in the local church?   in our family?   in our friends? Do we:   Consent to the sinner or listen to him?   Does our eye pity him?   Do we spare him or conceal him? If so, we must repent & cease our tolerance
