What makes people think that Christianity is a TOLERANT religion? We are supposed to be loving and steadfast, but no where in the bible does it say to be "tolerant" of sin, other religions, opinions or anything else for that matter that goes against the word of God. In the bible it specifically lays out what will happen to sinners, but somehow some Christians are mislead to think we should be "tolerant" of sin? In the bible it says that God is not a respector of people. Sin does include but is not limited too wrong ideas, wrong thinking, gay marriage, preaching false doctrines, adopting false doctrines, worshipping false gods, disobeying God, breaking the law, slander, gossip, lying, hate, and all other forms of wickedness. Your idea of "tolerance" is that we should just sit by and ignore these things and let them go on around us when the bible demands that we be separate from them? What makes you think we should be "tolerant" of all this then?

1- belief with no work can't be a form of worship ,then not a religion from God.

2-belief in one God and work is a form of worship and can be a religion of God only if it is conform to the teachings of the prophet only and what God only says in his books. Other than that it is an innovation.

where do you find yourself among?
If (1)no work, how do you worship God?

I can't understand why there's so many pronunciations of a word. For example, the word "dance". Americans pronouce it as DAN-ce while the Britains pronouce it as DA-nce, same goes for the word "chance".

Another example would be the word "demand". Americans pronouce it as de-mand while the British pronouce it as de-mund.
It's pretty confusing.

can someone explain why and which one should I follow?

I'm studying British English.
